About me

About my work

I’m a passionate software engineer who’s been coding for more than half of his life and who always puts quality first. The key strengths that I possess include:

  • 🌍 I have successfully designed, developed, and maintained Android apps deployed all around the globe.
  • 👬 I have been leading a team of developers for more than two years now, which allowed me to build a larger set of skills by detaching from code-centric tasks helping me find the passion for People.
  • 📈 I strive for continued excellence and improvement, I care a lot about both internal and external software quality. I also make sure my code is SOLID.
  • 🤖 I have experience with Android development for 8+ years (since Android 2) which gives me a deep understanding of the platform itself and the full lifecycle of a software development project (be it in a Agile or more traditional approach).
  • 💯 Throughout my career I participated in smaller projects doing backend and frontend development which provides me a more holistic view over software.

I’m interested in challenging today’s work boundaries by making the remote-first paradigm shift a reality.

Hobbies

Even though I initially present myself through my job and nationality, we all know that’s only the tip of the iceberg of who someone really is. Or it should be.

You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world. -Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
