💬 About Me
👋 Hi, I'm Artis. Welcome to my website!
I'm a generalist with about two decades of experience in the software industry. I've worked for startups and large corporations.
I specialize in building pragmatic software products using modern tools and infrastructure. I enjoy working on both frontend and backend, and I make extensive use of AI tools to enhance my productivity.
🛠️ Technical Focus
My tech stack of choice includes Python and JavaScript (TypeScript actually) for backend development, with Django, Flask, DRF, Express, and/or Next.js. For frontend, I use React, Preact, Astro, next.js or vanilla JS. PostgreSQL is my go-to database. I'm proficient in Linux and work daily on macOS or Arch Linux. I prefer containerized dev environments with Docker or Nix.
🎯 Experience & Interests
I've worked as an individual contributor, engineering manager, and consultant. On the hardware side, I enjoy building small projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. I also like tinkering with Lego Technic and creating simple robots.
