Learn more about me

Software Developer

The first thing you need to know about me is that I need problems to solve on a daily basis. I am a result driven individual, a productivity addict.

I started to learn how to code for that reason. I always had a facility with logical, mathematical problems and always am looking for the next enigma to solve. My love for computers has grown into a passion that I want to keep improving on.. Forever!

I have a very curious nature which makes me quite knowledgeable in a lot of different industries. I have worked in real estate, fashion, hospitality and marketing. All that experience is helping me see the big picture in every software that I engineer, bringing a very valuable and unique perspective to the table. Other valuable skills that I've had the opportunity to solidify are my strong set of soft skills. My different jobs and curriculum vitae has forged me into a great leader, coworker and friend.
