RHeynsZa/README.md

Hi there, I'm Ruan. 👋

Currently, I am working as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer and Data Protection Officer at Utilifeed.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Based in Gothenburg, Sweden 🇸🇪

I build distributed systems that handle millions of events without waking me up at 3 AM.

Currently, I spend my time bridging the gap between "product wants this" and "the server can do this." I focus on technical direction for the frontend (React/Typescript) and helping the team ship complex features without breaking production.


🛠 The Arsenal

I believe in using the right tool for the job, but I definitely have favorites.

Core Architecture & Backend Go Apache Kafka Python C#

Infrastructure & DevOps Kubernetes Terraform AWS Grafana

Frontend React TypeScript TanStack


🧠 The Philosophy (Likes & Hates)

I have strong opinions, loosely held. (Except the database one. That is firmly held.)

✅ Things I Like

  • Solving the "Weird" Problems: If it involves obscure edge cases, distributed race conditions, or protocols nobody remembers, I'm interested.
  • Building Cool Things: Whether it's a massive event ingestion pipeline or a small automation script, I like shipping software that actually works.
  • Game Dev: My occasional side quest. Dabbling in engines and logic keeps the creativity flowing.

❌ Things I Hate

  • "Pizza & Deploy" Evenings: If you can't trust your CI/CD pipeline to deploy at 2 PM on a Tuesday, something is fundamentally wrong. Deployments should be boring, not a social event.
  • Non-Relational Databases: My brain demands structure. Give me a schema or give me death.
  • Timezones: There is a special circle of hell reserved for handling Daylight Savings Time changes in distributed logs.

💬 Let's Talk

I am always open to discussing System Design, Golang vs. Rust (Go is better), or why SQL is still king.
