Distributed Tracing with Node JS
Microservices are great, but they can be hard to debug. Distributed tracing can help.
Technologies I'm good at
I've been writing JavaScript, HTML & CSS for 20 years. Along the way I've gotten good at UX, AI, IaC and CI/CD. My go-to's are TypeScript, React and Prisma, CICD'd to the cloud.
Platforms I'm experienced with
I've deployed large scale applications to AWS and Google Cloud, using terraform, kubernetes, and docker to create scalable architectures from the ground up using CI/CD and IaC.
I'm fluent with GitHub and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and know how to get my code into production quickly and with high quality.
Languages I use
I've been programming with JavaScript since long before it was cool to do so. These days I'm a TypeScript fanboy, but I still love JavaScript. I'm also a big fan of React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.
I've also been written my fair share of Python, mostly using it for AI projects. I've used C++ for some embedded systems work, and hate Java. Well, dislike anyway.
