Summary

I am a web developer with 15 years of experience in the development and maintenance of high traffic websites. I consider myself a full stack web developer because I am familiar and have experience with every layer involved in running web applications, from server provisioning to back-end and front-end development, including database administration. I also have good internet business knowledge.

I originally started my career as an internet marketer, but quickly had to learn how to customize software to match my innovative development strategies. Consequently, I developed a passion for computer programming and automating tasks to generate passive income. Being a disciplined autodidact, I devoured information about programming best practices, design patterns, and internet technologies. Working mostly with high traffic websites, my programming style evolved to be very performance oriented and well structured.

I am a very detail-oriented and well-organized person. I am passionate about my work, and take pride in delivering high quality easily maintainable code.

I consider QA (Quality Assurance) one my biggest strengths, not only because of the rigorous testing I put my own work through, but also because I take the time to review code and properly test work done by my peers. I am also very good at creating test scenarios to test business critical functionality, and catch costly bugs before the code gets released to production.

Curious by nature, I enjoy learning new things and finding ways to constantly improve my skills. I welcome constructive criticism, and I like to share my ideas with others.

I currently work at Seedbox Technologies creating and maintaining high traffic websites in an Agile environment. This position allowed me to discover the rewards of teamwork, which is something I had not experienced while I was self-employed for several years. Being open-minded and easy going made it very easy for me to integrate an Agile team even though I previously worked alone.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
