About

I'm an enthusiastic software developer with a strong background in web development. I help companies and startups to plan, build and maintain their web application projects and infrastructure. As a product-minded software engineer I prefer to balance the technical with the product and business considerations. I focus primarily on building digital workflow and process management tools, company portals and customer dashboards. I also have extensive experience with infrastructure management, automation and DevOps. As an experienced team leader, I take great pride in my ability to enthuse and motivate others and helping people succeed. My development principles and approach in a nutshell: ∙ Work from the outside-in; first understand the customer, the market and the problems at hand ∙ Find an optimal solution through rapid and early validation using proof-of-concepts and minimal-viable-products ∙ Know when to implement throw-away code and when to build for scale ∙ Mature through iteration, prioritize the most important problems ∙ Be comfortable with an evolving approach to technical challenges
