PROFILE
I have over 15 years of experience creating applications for, and related to, the web. I like to learn and use
new technology to create applications that are fresh, fast to develop and stable. I enjoy creating projects that
are reusable, stable and extendable. I have been the go-to-guy for setting up new projects and frameworks
my entire career. I also enjoy mentoring and teaching others, being a technical team lead, and helping bridge
the gap between business and technology.
