Donatas Daubaras
Senior Software Engineer at Turing College
Vilnius, Lithuania
About
I’m a software engineer with 10+ years in the industry, working mostly in Go, Java and TypeScript. I’ve led an engineering team and worked as a technical architect at Shift4, and I chose to go back to hands-on engineering because I like shipping things.
I studied computer science at Newcastle University and spent a year in its Cloud Computing for Big Data doctoral training programme before moving back to Lithuania. Outside work I build small tools for my family and tinker with games.
