About Me
Senior Full-Stack Developer interested in microservices and AWS.
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.
Well versed in self-management, I work best in a remote environment, but I'm able to collaborate and communicate with potential customers and team members as well.
I'm passionate about working with motivated people and getting things done. Having been a lead developer I also have the skills to lead small cross-functional teams.
I'm actively looking for a job, so feel free to contact me at levente.danel@gmail.com
