About me

With over 10 years of experience in the tech industry, I have gained a diverse skillset through my work as a freelancer, employee, and consultant for a variety of companies ranging from small startups to leader corporations in industries such as website development, insurance, and banking, telecommunication.

I have a strong foundation in programming, having written my first line of code in 2011 using PHP, and have since honed my skills in roles including integration, maintenance, full stack development, cross-platform mobile development, architecture, and product ownership.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have a broad range of interests including history, travel, space exploration, aviation, management, and human behavior. I am constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand my knowledge and capabilities.
