I am currently looking for a #job . I am an experienced (senior) software developer/engineer with 7y of experience. If someone is looking for a capable software engineer or knows someone looking for engineers, please let me know.

I do #python #scheme #django #docker and aim for reproducible software. I learned some #devops and #ansible and can manage servers. Used to do #fullstack dev work, before everything needed to be an SPA.

I am looking for #remote work or work in #berlin or #potsdam .

I learned #scheme back in 1994 or so, at Iowa State University, where the CS dept was very progressive and theory rich. Used it a bit after, and I remember when #guile got adopted as a GNU scripting language around 1998 or something. Now 25+ years later #GUIX is pretty sweet, and I see guile has a byte code compiler and templating JIT. So guile is dramatically more capable than something like bash. The future is now!

An interesting remark in Josep Bigorra's post on why Scheme can be used for production work:

There’s only one truly universal ecosystem: the C ecosystem. Dynamic language modules are often just bindings to existing C libraries.
