Manifesto

My core principles and beliefs about software development and technology.

As a software developer, I believe in building technology that empowers and respects its users. These principles guide every project I undertake and every line of code I write.

Open Source First

I fundamentally believe that open source software drives innovation and creates better technology for everyone. This belief manifests in three key commitments:

  • Contributing to Existing Projects: Actively participating in and improving open source projects that benefit the wider community
  • Open Source by Default: Releasing my own work under open source licenses whenever possible
  • Building on Standards: Leveraging and supporting open standards and protocols rather than proprietary solutions

Privacy by Design

Privacy should never be an afterthought - it must be woven into the fabric of every solution from day one. My approach includes:

  • Treating user data protection as a fundamental requirement
  • Collecting only the minimum data necessary
  • Being completely transparent about how data is used and stored

Professional Values

Continuous Learning

Technology evolves rapidly, and I commit to staying current with new developments, best practices, and emerging tools. This means dedicating time to:

  • Regular exploration of new technologies
  • Engaging with the developer community
  • Contributing to technical discussions

Quality First

I never compromise on code quality. This means:

  • Comprehensive testing
  • Clear documentation
  • Regular code reviews
  • Sustainable development practices

User-Centric Design

Every technical decision is made with the end user in mind. This involves:

  • Deep understanding of user needs
  • Regular user feedback and testing
  • Accessibility as a core requirement

Development Methodology

My systematic approach to building successful projects consists of four key phases:

  1. Discovery

    • Thorough user research
    • Comprehensive market analysis
    • Technical feasibility studies
  2. Architecture

    • Scalable system design
    • Robust API planning
    • Security-first approach
  3. Implementation

    • Test-driven development
    • Regular code reviews
    • Thorough documentation
  4. Deployment

    • Automated testing
    • Gradual rollout
    • Continuous monitoring
