Summary

I started coding in my senior years of high school and never stopped. Software became my life-long passion and profession. I have worked with companies ranging from Microsoft and Ericsson to small startups and was a part of good many great projects, including real-time analytics collection for top-tier streaming content providers, handling distributed financial transactions and more.

I see software engineering as a form of applied art that requires constant problem solving and this is my favorite part about it. Let me help you solve your problem as well!

I also love sharing my experience and knowledge, both technical and the "soft skills". Mentoring is my passion and it allows me to learn a lot from the people I mentor. I am eagerly looking froward to learning from you!
