20 years creating and maintaining software.
Primarily for early stage start-ups.
I have programmed in many
languages and architectures, which gives me a firm basis
in software development frameworks and strategies on both
the front and backend. My experience ranges from
CI/CD to CSS. I can learn new technologies quickly.
I enjoy collaborating with others
and mentoring new developers.
I am always looking forward
to a new adventure.
