I started developing RIZM web app November 2021. Back then it was an experiment, after two years we became a funded company backed by Point 9 and Early bird.
As first employee and second full time person in the company I became the lead of app development while others took care of our backend algorithms, infrastructure and database management.
Noticeably I implemented optimistic data saving, migrated our API from Cloud functions to REST API in express.js, added real time collaboration with SSEs and helped migrating our database schema away from EAV model. I witnessed how an experiment became an actual software product which is used by actual people, I still think this is kind of crazy.
During this time I fell in love with vim/neovim, tmux, tiling window managers (thank you aerospace) and note taking (Obsidian). Non violent communication became my most influential book of that period.
I struggle with implementations of „agile“ development, although I support it's manifesto. I try to include AI into my dev process and now I find myself switching between Cursor and neovim. Until this day I have problems with finding other likeminded web devs to work with or just to connect to.
My goal with this website is to just say hi and have my own little space in the internet. I learned so much from intependent blogs and maybe som day someone will find something that I wrote helpful. Also after implementing a complex SPA at my work it's nice to go back to basics and start with simple HTML.
If you want to say hi, you can find me on the internet on Github and Linkedin
