Experienced senior web developer with over 10 years of expertise. I have collaborated with startups of all sizes, guiding tech projects from bootstrap to scaling. My specialization lies in Ruby on Rails full-stack development, along with proficiency in developing React.js frontend applications, Node.js backend systems, DevOps practices, and database design. I am available for freelance work through TBDSoftware, where I partnered with equally skilled developers. Together, we bring our combined experience to enhance your projects.

HollowMan | 3 years ago | on: Things they didn’t teach you about software engineering

> Estimations will be asked even when you don't want to give them

Actually this particular point reminds me of young-arrogant-me saying things like "I can't give you an estimate since its software, and everybody knows thats estimates are impossible, duh." to my boss.

Boy was I young, and arrogant!

HollowMan | 3 years ago | on: Thoughts on Turning 30

Recently turned 30, I can second you on a lot of points. I would add that we as human beings always tend to look at people luckier than we are, never the other way around. Doing so can make one relativise its condition. Obviously this is linked to your point 26 about social media.

Pollen AM (http://www.pollen.am) | Embedded Software Engineer | Paris, France, Full-time, Onsite

Pollen AM is a 4 year old French startup that developed the first new technology in the additive manifacturing industry for many years. Instead of using filament, powder or resin, our 3D printer uses industrial injection grade pellets, allowing all materials to be processed. And can use up to 4 different on a single piece. This allows our clients to use 3D printing to manufacture actual goods using real materials at a competitive price.

We are a team of 11 engineers, doctors and designers each with a specific skillset in materials, physics, mechanics, electronics and of course, software. We design every part of the printer internally, providing always more challenging projects to our team.

We are looking for an embedded software engineer with capabilities in electronics. Such a maker would take responsibility of everything close to the hardware here at Pollen. He would work with our software team of 2 and design, code, sold and solder on Pam, our 3D printer.
