About Me
Hi there
My name is José David Baena, a software engineer living in The Bay Area. I have a passion for all things related to Distributed Systems and Development Experience. I enjoy building side projects and stuff related to web dev. At work I am mainly working with Go, Ruby, and Java. In my free time, If not with the family, I am mainly tinkering with side projects mostly in Go, Typescript, and Java.
My career
- The home for all developers. Working on distributed systems, in particular our messaging and background job infrastructure. Processing 8B jobs/day and 150B events/day.
