I am a software craftsman building web applications for fun and profit using open-source technologies. That is the way I create world-class products. I am passionate about building clean and simple distributed systems that are easy to develop, deploy, and operate. I do not always succeed, but I have continued trying and improving.

My blog serves as a log file of my thoughts on technical principles proven to work for large teams and complex projects. You may get away with any approach when working alone on a small application. But when a system grows, things get messy. You may sense opinionated positions on controversial topics. They show the path I have chosen to follow.
