I like to deliver quality work with high business value to my customers.
In the past, I helped large variety of businesses to succeed – from a company of three to a multinational finance corporate. I worked in all sorts of environments and learnt from different people with various background and experience.
I like to mentor and lead by example. Software development is about people and these people are the most important ingredient of every project’s success.
