About

I started out as a Junior Web Developer, learning, writing unit tests, and deploying web applications using Java Enterprise. It was insightful work—until one project turned into sleepless nights and fatigue. Before I knew it, I had become a Full-stack Web Developer and Senior Software Engineer.

Nowadays, I’m a Platform Engineer (also known as a DevOps Engineer), in Åland Islands and Finland, creating and updating Techinical Documents, monitoring and improving the CI/CD pipeline, and day-time support for the platform that our team is responsible for.

This blog is where I share my thoughts on technology, life as a Platform Engineer and surviving Kanban sprints alongside other experts. If that sounds useful—or at least mildly chaotic — you're in the right place.

Downgrading to Full-stack Web Developer (PHP)

Wanting to go back to web development, I decided to join a startup and get a huge paycut from what I use to get. Day to day is coding in what they call the LAMP stack, debug, update and maintain the web applications for their customer. What is the LAMP stack? It's Linux, Apache (server), MySQL and PHP.
