Senior Software Engineer | Application Security | Legacy Modernization Specialist

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 25 years of experience specializing in secure application architecture, high-availability systems, and legacy modernization. I view languages - whether PHP, Python, or Go - as tools to solve complex business problems, focusing on architecture, security, and scalability rather than just syntax.

Combining a deep background in Linux infrastructure (20+ years) with recent certifications in Ethical Hacking & Cybersecurity, I assist organizations in building robust, secure-by-design systems.

Case Study: This Portfolio Website

This very website you're viewing is a testament to what I can build. It's not just a static portfolio - it's a sophisticated web application with some impressive technical features:

Technical Highlights

  • Artmajeur API Integration: Seamlessly syncs with the Artmajeur platform to fetch artwork data, exhibition information, and blog posts automatically.
  • Automated Data Synchronization: Custom-built sync scripts that intelligently update content on a schedule, detecting changes and only fetching what's new - saving bandwidth and improving efficiency.
  • Modern Tech Stack: Built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, and React for a blazing-fast, type-safe development experience.
  • Server-Side Rendering: Ensures optimal SEO, fast initial page loads, and keeps sensitive data secure on the server.
  • Performance Optimized: Achieves 90+ Lighthouse scores through image optimization, code splitting, and efficient caching strategies.
  • Accessibility First: WCAG 2.1 AA compliant with proper semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and keyboard navigation.
  • Responsive Design: Beautiful and functional on all devices, from mobile phones to large desktop screens.

The result? A professional portfolio that updates itself, loads quickly, ranks well in search engines, and provides an excellent user experience. This is the kind of quality and attention to detail I bring to every project.
