About Me

Summary
I have 15+ years of software development experience covering most areas of the development lifecycle. With a strong background in object-oriented software development, I have experience in a wild range of areas including web applications, database design and microservices in various industries like e-commerce and capital markets.
I'm a fast learner, flexible, up to date with new technologies and interested in modern software development methodologies.
