About Me

I am an experienced programmer, using multiple languages to develop high-end applications for web, mobile, and desktop. I have worked in startups as well as established companies and am proficient in Javascript (JQuery/Angular/React), ABAP, Node, Ionic, Python and PHP. I believe learning is a life-long process therefore I seek out challenging projects that empower me to expand my knowledge and skills. I have served as a functional consultant, successfully managing development projects while focusing on minimizing client's expenses and time. I consistently provide full-functioning applications that successfully meet all client and end-user requirements. I believe in sharing knowledge with others and am passionate about helping people solve complex problems.
