SEEKING WORK - Preferably remote (travelling on-site within Europe 1-2x per month perfectly fine) or Madrid
<a href="
Software engineer (CS master) with 10+ years experience building business backend systems for a variety of clients (based in Germany, UK, US, Spain and remote).
Professionally, I have done mostly Java backend development, but consider myself a generalist, as I'm continuously learning &amp; building things (side projects, open source).
I enjoy exploring new ideas, writing and teaching about software craft.
Looking for challenging work, where the need to find profound solutions is important (in contrast to slashing something together for the sake of speed).
Skillset:
  * Java expert, from J2EE to modern Java development
  * Fluent in Python, intermediate at Clojure, Scala, Go (and C++ though dated) 
  * Experienced in building backend systems using the most suitable framework, database and environment (mostly AWS). 
  * I have done plenty of scalable REST api development the last 5 years. 
  * I'm confident to do front-end development using JS frameworks, CSS, HTML5

I'm based in Madrid, Spain (born in Germany). I speak English, German, Spanish. Looking forward to talk!
