Development of server monitoring dashboards and automation of infrastructure.
I'm Donatas and I'm pretty good at computer-stuff. Specifically I design, develop, and teach software. I have been in "the business" for about 7 years. I'm specialized in backend development for a variety of domains (e-commerce, fin-tech, porn, and education) and I have some experience in infrastructure and devops.
I'm a highly sociable person so I easily integrate into teams. I'm also quick to get the lay of the land so I can be productive pretty quick. I require little guidance/micromanagement to get things done. When running into roadblocks I am quick to let someone know and try to find assistance in overcoming them. If your interested has been piqued, read on to see if I might be a good fit for your organization.
When it comes to work, I have a number philosophies that I feel strongly about. If we don't see eye to eye on these, then chances are pretty good that it's a bad fit. Incidentally they are not so much about technology, but more about the way we work together. I have found that technology is easy to learn and adapt to, but clashing values are not.
Based on my experience I have found the most well-performing teams to be the ones that communicate a lot, both about work and private matters. It's when people are secure enough in a team to voice their whacky ideas or lack of understanding that you uncover the best solutions. It is through talking about your values and hardships that you find the work processes that best suit your team.
One paragraph cannot summarize my thoughts on work, but in a broad line I am of the opinion that often times the way work is done is outdated. We do not recognize what meaningful work is or how to get pleasure out of work. When I work, I realize that if I'm going to work 80 hours per week, the person working 70 hours could feel bad. I like to take these things into consideration and to work towards a shared principle in the future of work.
When an environment is dead-serious, you lose the moments of community and security and I think that is detrimental to good work. In many ways, humor is a necessity for honest communication and it is important to me that it is recognized that in all likelihood there's plenty of room for silliness in your teams. Unless your software is powering a nuclear power plant, probably nobody is going to suffer disastrous consequences if we go on a tangent about some funny cat video during a call.
