I'm Juozas, a results-oriented full stack engineer with over 20 years in web applications and scalable backend services. I thrive on building robust systems using Go, PHP, Python, and JavaScript, and I own the full development lifecycle from code to production. My DevOps background ensures reliable deployments, monitoring, and scalable infrastructure. I've led design and delivery of high-traffic systems, crafted microservices, and built custom tooling (MTA, DNS server, and a scalable message broker). I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams across multi-cloud environments, balancing performance, maintainability, and user experience. I’m comfortable spanning from database design to frontend implementation and mentoring others along the way.
