I’m a software engineer with over 5 years of experience, specializing in backend development, system architecture, and performance optimization. I have extensive experience with scalable systems, fault-tolerant architectures, and cloud infrastructure, particularly with AWS, DigitalOcean, and bare metal. Additionally, I actively contribute to and maintain open-source projects. I am currently open to both remote and onsite roles in Europe or Africa, with a keen interest in cloud-native technologies and projects that make a meaningful impact.

This is fantastic! Love the automation and structure behind it, especially the .parquet approach and GitHub Actions pipeline. Super inspiring.

On my end, it’s a bit frustrating that our Parliament still only shares pdf reports weeks after sessions happen, likely compiled manually. No API, no transcript archive, and no structured metadata around bills, speakers, or topics.

That’s partly why I started building Bunge Bits: to sidestep the bottlenecks and make the information usable.

Appreciate you sharing zijwerkenvooru.be, bookmarking it for inspiration as I figure out what’s next.

I am a Software Engineer with 4 years of experience. Looking to preferably join a team using Rust as I would like to build my experience with the language further, otherwise open to full stack roles. Available from September 2023.
