I'm a builder and programmer
Welcome to my website!
My name is Artis Avotiņš and I'm a generalist with over 20 years of experience in the software industry. I have worked for companies of all sizes, from small startups to large corporations, and have been a founder as well.
My technology stack of choice is Python or JavaScript for the backend, and React for the frontend. PostgreSQL is my preferred database. I have experience with Django, Flask, Express, Next.js, and DRF for backend development. For frontend, I work with React, Preact, or vanilla JS. I prefer TypeScript for all my JavaScript projects.
I am proficient in Linux and comfortable with the command line. My daily OS is either MacOS or Arch Linux. I prefer using Docker and Nix. I have been hosting my own services on a $5 VPS for years.
Throughout my career, I have worked as a contractor, an individual contributor, and I have spent two years as an engineering manager.
I enjoy working with microcontrollers and have built a few fun projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32.
That's my professional life summed up in a few paragraphs. Feel free to look around the site to learn more about me.
Got a cool idea? Need help with your project? Looking to launch an MVP? I'm your guy. I'm available for contract work. Having spent two decades tinkering with code, I know a thing or two about building software.
