Between configuration and deployment of custom hardware on-premise, through scaling real-time video streaming solution to writing and managing software behind telemetry platforms there's little I can't do.
I've never worked at Google, Amazon or Apple. Biggest company was Opera - I work best in small, close to product teams, where my wide gamut of skills can shine.
My perfect job fast-moving, goal-oriented, delivering values to users in short, iterative cycles.
