Having mostly worked in small start-up companies, I've acquired a broad range of knowledge. Programming, database design and administration, system, networking, hosting platforms, project and team management.

I'll admit, backend development has my favours, and in the last few years I mostly dealt machine speaking to machines. Nonetheless, frontend development is still something I like doing when offered the opportunity.

As part of a team or autonomously, I'm a committed and a perseverant problem solver. No solving needed? Well, I'll probably try to find ways to optimize existing processes.

I think curiosity is a quality, and being multifaceted means I spend time learning about many things. Science, technology, engineering, biology, psychology, music, or sports are the main subjects I focus on.
