About

I’m a full stack developer who can build apps from the ground up. I've worked on many versatile projects and in multiple front and back-end languages. I love new challenges and learning languages I haven't worked with. I also enjoy guiding colleagues into a lean development approach, weiging benefits versus risks in their decision making.
