LatchKostov
I'm a software engineer. I like picking up new tools, finding out what they're good for, and building things with them.
About
I build web software end to end: back-end services and APIs, the front ends people use, and the infrastructure that ships and runs them.
Outside of work I build small products and games, mostly to learn something new along the way.
The list below is where I've done most of my work, not the edge of what I'll take on. The fundamentals carry over from one stack to the next, and with AI tools, getting productive in a new one is quicker than it's ever been.
- Languages
- C#, TypeScript, JavaScript
- Front end
- Vue, React, Angular
- Back end
- .NET
- Infrastructure
- Docker, Kubernetes, Azure
