Developer, architect and writer. 20+ years of experience with Java and C (some Python), databases, back-end / desktop systems, algorithms, etc. Interested in performance tuning and technical writing.
I'm a native English speaker, have a BS in Computer Science, built a lot of systems and understand modern stacks very well. I can improve the performance of your system, whether the bottleneck is in the code (front-end or back-end), database, network stack, cache, or elsewhere. Currently writing a book on improving software performance.
I'm also an accomplished writer, having written one technical book (on undocumented Microsoft file formats) and edited four others. I can document your system, process, framework or anything similar.
