Delivering high performant slutions with rock-solid stability. I perform stress testing on all back-end work to assure you of a stable product.
Given the choice, I would pick the appropriate technologies to create the simplest and most reliable design.
I worked for 6.5 years at Microsoft on server side, compiler, security and the kernel. Now I'm working for a start-up on a 99% Linux environment developing scalable backend systems that deal with 100s of millions of transactions per day.
With this background, I'm very comfortable with scripting tools (perl, wget, curl, ruby etc) that I heavily use to stress test the apps I build.
