Profile

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer interested in building well-structured and intuitive software. I am a versatile hard worker who enjoys being useful in the work environment. I tend to become the 'organizer' in the teams I work in, as I actively try to solve problems and take responsibility for my work.
