About

With over years of professional experience behind me, I have been exposed to a number of different tools, technologies, architectures and services across a number of different sized projects.

Having worked on prototypes with users in the tens to full production environments with millions of users, from products just launching to live services, I have made sure to always learn, and distribute my knowledge, to ensure the smooth operation of any project I work on.

I pride myself on having a can-do attitude, and approach work with the view that no task is too big nor too small. I love building new systems, specially when given the chance to learn new technologies, and have also been involved in the rearchitecturing and rebuilding of large live systems.
