About

I'm a software developer with a specialization in building web applications. I've worked mostly with technology startups. Currently my main position is focused on front-end web development, but I have experience with the full web stack. I'm a big fan of Ruby on Rails and modern client-side JavaScript (especially React), but I don't mind learning new things. I try to focus on solving problems over writing code or building technology for its own sake.
