Technology Radar
Technologies and Skills section in my callsic CV does not provide the full picture of my technical landscape which is constantly evolving. This Technology Radar, inspired by the well-know Thoughtworks Technology Radar, is a living map of my technical landscape, showing what I rely on today, what Iām experimenting with, and what I may revisit in the future. This radar is evolving as I learn, adopt, or phase out technologies. I maintain it since 2017. See: Medium Article (ge)
Quadrants and Rings
The radar uses the same four quadrants as Thoughtworks: Techniques, Tools, Platforms, and Languages & Frameworks, although my rings are personalized to reflect my own usage patterns:
| Ring | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Technologies I am actively using in my daily work in current projects. |
| Archive | Technologies I used for years but not recently. Knowledge may be partially outdated, but I still consider them for future work. |
| Trial | Technologies Iām evaluating in a few limited use cases. Not yet adopted, but promising. |
| Access | Early exploration stage: reading, experimenting, PoCs, discussions. Curiosity-driven discovery without commitments. |
