About Me

I am a talented and experienced Ruby on Rails Developer with expertise in ReactJS. I enjoy creating APIs, on the Ruby framework, and working on SPA front-ends with ReactJS. I often work on complex tasks, with new technologies and frameworks, and am motivated by challenging projects and deadlines. Passionate about setting lofty goals, I strategically develop innovative and detailed plans to achieve them. I am an avid learner and the development of new skills is a driving force behind everything I do.
