About

I’m a full-stack developer who can build apps from the ground up or improve existing ones. I've worked on many versatile projects and in multiple front-end and back-end languages. I love new challenges and learning new technologies I haven't worked with before. I also enjoy guiding colleagues into a lean development approach, weighing benefits versus risks in their decision-making.
