Passionate Architect and old school coder

I'm an old school developer, I started 20 years ago with Notepad as an IDE (?), then I worked as DevOps and for a few years now I've been working as a Principal Technical Architect. I'm interested in cloud computing and serverless architectures and love to dive deep into problems and find smart solutions.
