My Mind
A look into who I am, my employment history and current projects I'm working on.
Who Am I?
I've been creating and designing software for 18 years, starting in 2003 as a 13 year old. I've built a unique set of skills spanning the Software Development Life Cycle, combining technical depth with creativity and strategic thinking.
I'm passionate about both software and design, taking projects from concept through to UX and UI design, development, and delivery of polished products. I work independently, solve problems others may not have thought of, and thrive on challenges while continuously refining my skills.
