If you are here, you might be someone that I know, some one that wants to get in touch or a recruiter. Oh well, welcome anyway...
I've been around for quite some time now... But I've always been in the shadows, lurking around. Judging code, but not really getting involved. Time to change!
I have worked with the most varied languages and frameworks. Migrated from Java (Eclipse times) to C#.NET and back to Java8 (using IntelliJ) this time around. In between adventured on the JS/FE land. From ES5 (or was it ES2015 / ES6? with backbone.js, angular.io, looked into some Python, but fell madly in love with Typescript. Really want to learn some Scala and F#. Never really got along with mobile... I need to give it a go again...
Currently working on projects dealing with microservices, using AWS, getting to know the ins and outs of Dropwizard and Docker. Unlocking the Serveless and aws lambdas power. I'm all around. While I'm at it, I might as well keep my SOLID principles nicely aligned with the Architecture patterns. A bit of Dependecy Injection here, a bit of IoC there, a pinch of TDD and that is about that!
Currently enjoying a great commute @ Resilient Plc. Getting to know SOHO. It's restaurants and pubs (Duke of Argyll, mostly). Still trying to give back to the community:

Check it out, raise some issues, give feedback... Get involved!

I can share one thing that I learned: There is no perfect time to publish your code. It does not need to be perfect, it does not need to handle the all the possibilities in the world first time, this is what collaboration is for. People might be really glad that stumbled across you half developed code, want to make use of it or just give that inspiration. Think of that next time you hesitate in pushing that publish button.
That said, as soon as you publish, you won't want your child code dirty and ugly around. Go ahead and change, just the little tip you needed.
