About
My journey into the world of technology and programming began when I got a Commodore 64 at age 8. That's when I discovered my passion for computing and have remained deeply enthusiastic about technology ever since.
Starting my programming endeavors with BASIC, I've now accumulated more than 20 years of professional experience across various technologies including PHP, SQL, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and many more.
Through my career, I've had the privilege of building software for a start-up, an advertising network, a fintech and a huge corporation in a variety of industries.
I enjoy the challenge of building performant, scalable web applications that are both beautiful and functional.
