Hi

I'm a Full-Stack software professional with extensive technical skills and rich experience in a variety of roles serving companies across the globe.

I'm always looking for a new challenge, whether personal or professional. I am a communicative person that can lead a team, work as a part of a team, or work independently.

I`ve seen server templates become SPAs, I`ve learned ECMA script on Flash, I`ve seen the rise of cloud providers, the fall of classes and witnessed Atwoods law fullfill its prophecy.

I`ve seen the rise and fall of jQuery, been among the first adopters of Angular 1, and witnessed the birth of Flux flows and React.

I remember when JS was only client side, when CSS couldn`t center divs, and I optimized my pages for IE6.

I`ve spent thousands on cloud services by mistake, moved whole companies to containerized development and deployments and designed and built event driven systems.

I`ve served my time in agencies, got my dreams shattered in startups, and my heart filled by the people who shared my passion in the art of crafting software and services that scale.

I`ve lead teams, managed, consulted, advised, coded and architected.
I regret very little, and am grateful for all.
