I am Vlad,
and I have the ability to stretch the limits of what software can do in order to achieve seemingly impossible tasks. Not kidding, I love what I do and I do it well.
I have been accused of re-inventing the wheel, but then again where would we be if nobody tried to re-invent something good enough to make it great?
Aside of my job I like to challenge myself by building this and that no matter how large, small or impossible it may be. It's my learning process and I simply love it. Think I am mad, crazy, wonko.. etc? Good :)
I love,
programming and the more challenging the better. That is how I got into MIME and SMTP, designing and coding MTA servers and MIME parsers from scratch. Over the years I ended up writing multiple libraries and MTA services with high rates of receipt and deliverability.
Secure, multi server, multi tenant, single tenant database, big data, IPv6 ready, bayesian intelligent integrated email receipt and delivery SaaS solutions and stand alone services.
Just for fun,
I wrote a PHP code documentor without the use of PHP's built in tokenizer. I took a MIME approach to the task, reading lines and counting brackets. It can give the well known documentor a run for it's money.
On top of that it also supports a custom style of documentation comments that will allow the addition of more complex information. And it's resulting website follows the familiar PHP website structure and style.
Nicely packaged inside a self documenting PHP micro-framework designed for speed, maintainability and security.
I might publish it some day.
Not just once,
Wherever I go I quickly become the go to guy in the company for answers or references. I have a pretty good memory and I pay attention to what goes around me because you never now what or whom you might need help from you in the future. As such I do a lot of introductions between teams and departments one I learn who's who.
When that dreadful bad day comes when you got an outage and something's off but it doesn't make sense, it's good to know as much as possible about the people and the infrastructure in order to be efficient.
