About Me

I have over 8 years of team leading and management experience and over 10 years of programming and technical experience. I started working at 16 and I had jobs ranging from Network Admin and PHP Developer to Project Manager, Team Manager and Head of Software Development. Besides my full-time jobs, I have been doing Freelancing and IT Consulting for almost 10 years, which consisted both of implementing solutions myself, but also managing teams of developers.<br>I always love to create things and solve problems, both in real life and virtual space. I love managing software projects and seeing them delivered on time. I have very good analytical skills. Every day I try to better myself, in both personal and professional life and I am always up for a challenge. That is why, even though my main expertise is full stack web development, I have created and published an app in the AppStore and since October 2017 I am attending Apple Developer Academy in Napoli, Italy.
