Hello, I'm Bakare Emmanuel Bakman', wannabe DevOps fanboy and aspiring SRE in the city of Lagos, Nigeria.
You can check me out on my social media platforms and cover examples of my work from Github. Likewise my contact and resume are listed below:I'm like any other wannabe full stack but with a major towards DevOps and Linux.
I've been developing since my entry into secondary school making it 9 plus years of dev experience, from making drag and drop games in Small Basic and later to Visual Basic, I've progressed to web design and now full time Distributed Systems and Linux administration. Building on 3+ years professional experience, I've had a long time hitting the keys for making software work and not, LOL!.
Asides early experience with building / editing source code for ROMs on Android to sideloading bootloaders all the way to tons of bricked devices and damaged computers with several windows cyber exploits all taken from the internet and my personal escapades, I've been a rather driven dev and script kiddie who goes in to get things done.
My past work experiences have rotated majorly around startups and I'm open for new challenges, remote opportunities are always appreciated
I've worked in and led teams and communities for hackathons alongside organizing meetups and study jams from engagements in communities such as GDG, forLoop and many others
I look forward to becoming a Product Manager / Leading Consultant, since understanding the dynamics of any engagement in both economic and tech wise terms is what I aim for in any activity.
During my spare time, I chill and listen to rock and rap, practice speed reading vigorously on Quora and cover more technical scope from books in my Calibre library cause YOLO!
I've spoken at a couple conferences, the major one being DevFest Lagos - 2018. Here's some of them:
...And a couple study jams and meetups in and outside UNILAG.
Basically, I'm a terrific noise maker that knows how to get your attention else, why are you still reading this!
As Drake said, If you're reading this, it's too late!

If you'd love for me to speak at your event, hit me with an email and you'd get an automatic yes for sure!
So today, I'd be taking on shared dependencies when developing micro services.

This doesn't just apply to micro services alone but general application development. There are cases where we copy code instead of reusing code.
Here's the full gist
For this evening, I'd be covering a very simple yet unappreciated function when it comes down to concurrent system's and this is Locks.

Call them whatever you want, Mutex, Lock, Semaphores
They're very important yet never utilized
Let's take this down once and for all

Do y'all actually do test driven development?
The way I've come to understand building proper large scale applications is to consider them like adapters. They function on their own but are only enhanced by other services.

The future is side car containers, write modular code, deeply modular containers pic.twitter.com/kBMBNTMp0e
I do this alot.

If you're reading this, it's time to automate things.
An hour of work for a one time task could become days if you're debugging and always redoing it manually.
Automation isn't a bad thing.
If you ever want to make it in life, don't follow the crowd. To make it big, you have to stand out.

There's nothing interesting about any show person, you've got to bring something new to the table.

GRPC has a lot of cool tweaks to be honest

Still running through it, hoping to see the full scope of it soon enough
Next on my list?
Varnish vs Redis!
