I am an experienced and self-motivated software engineer and I’m most passionate when it comes to mobile application development. I have gained an in-depth understanding of the Android and iOS platforms and I’ve come to develop an eye for the subtle differences between them. I enjoy developing products with a focus on the end-user experience, while optimizing quality for the business needs and maximizing overall profitability for all the phases of software development lifecycle.

I enjoy all the challenges my profession brings; tight deadlines, on-time delivery, leading teams, new technologies, satisfying customers, innovative thinking and never-ending learning. I like to keep things simple, stay agile and reactive, while planning steps ahead to prevent problems before they happen. I prefer a good mixture of agility and planning for the best results.
