About Me

I simply love programming and building complex web applications. With over 9 years experience in game development, back-end development, and single-page applications, I specialize in designing e2e software architectures and applications based on multiple technologies, microservices, and scalable systems. I am passionate about taking on new challenges and have an extensive background in both front- and back-end development. I write clean code and am proficient in JavaScript, NodeJS, and Golang. As an avid learner, who keeps up with new and emerging technologies, I consider every day to be a good day for learning something new.
