About me

I'm a Software Engineer, who commits to building high-quality web products, with a keen focus on the Front End, however, I'm capable of building a comprehensive Web Application from all sides. As a naturally curious person, I love getting involved in all stages of the software development cycle, from project planning, product specs, interface and system design, testing, implementation, and the CI/CD pipeline. In 15+ years working with web technologies, I've worked with small and medium-sized companies with a variety of products: A/B testing, online reservations, and programmatic advertising.
