Hey!
about
As someone who takes responsibility for his own personal development, I'm continually evaluating and upgrading my skills so that I stay at the cutting edge of Web development and Digital Marketing. I am a natural problem solver, who has proven himself by successfully completing projects for IT consultancies, software houses, web design agencies, and IT departments.
In this century, here on Earth, I find myself being an agent of change furthering humanity's progress by developing software solutions to everyday challenges using TypeScript & React JS. Over the years I have acquired a great affinity for modern architectures, challenging and interesting projects and if you so happen to have one, feel free to reach out.
technical skills
As a reluctant developer, I fled from a traditional path and explored my creativity, trough trying my hands on various techniques and software. Software is more than just a tool, and I try to dig deep into it. Today, I knack for critical thinking, empathy and creativity to create viable and impactful solutions using these technologies.
work
education
I spent 3 years learning Web Development and Software Engineering on my own, managed to get a few certificates online on Full-Stack Development and started working independently. I think one should never stop learning and go through a process of acquiring knowledge.
