Hi, I’m Lauris Dziļums, a full-stack software developer with over ten years of experience. I enjoy building reliable, scalable systems based on simple, solid principles. I love working with Scala, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, and Rust, usually alongside PostgreSQL.

In earlier years, I did quite a bit of client work with PHP and MySQL (the good old dog days).

I’ve worked on engineering teams at large-scale companies, including a major crypto exchange, and have also built a few startups.

Startups and projects I’m proud of:

  • Calmer – Anxiety and panic attack relief app
  • StockMarketGame.net – Mobile trading simulator and interactive school to learn about stock market
  • BitcoinHero – Free Bitcoin trading simulator
  • Datazenit – MySQL and PostgreSQL GUI database tool
  • Sensei Grid – Lightweight data grid library used in Datazenit
  • Awesome Scala – List of awesome Scala libraries
  • Hiburo – Lightweight team management web app (deprecated)
  • GetSSL.me – The fastest way to get SSL certificates for a reasonable price (deprecated)
