PROFILE

When the process of making software is rooted in well-documented decisions that are based on clear and rational motives, and it is a process that encourages bringing out the best in people, I’ll fit right in. I am a full stack developer, tenacious at solving problems, generous at sharing knowledge and eager to create delightful user experiences. I am happiest working in a team that cultivates a rigor for well designed code, a passion for learning and an atmosphere of collaboration among team members.
