ratazzi/README.md

Hi there. I build simple, reliable software. ⚡️

I'm a software engineer who strongly believes in technical simplicity. My philosophy is straightforward: less code means lower maintenance costs, easier reviews, and fewer bugs. I actively avoid over-engineering (looking at you, Kubernetes and modern frontend fatigue) and prefer tools that just work and get out of the way.

🛠 The Stack

I choose technologies that balance extreme productivity with high performance.

  • Languages: Rust 🦀, Ruby 💎, Python 🐍, Zig ⚡️
  • Backend & Infrastructure: Ruby on Rails (for fast shipping), PostgreSQL 🐘, Cloudflare ecosystem (for edge computing)
  • Tooling: mise (because environment management should be blazingly fast and simple)

💡 What I Believe In

  • Simplicity over Hype: Say no to unnecessary microservices and bloated k8s clusters for simple apps.
  • Pragmatism: I use Rails when I need to ship quickly, and Rust/Zig when performance and memory safety actually matter.
  • Minimalism: Architectures should be flat, understandable, and future-proof.
