Career Summary

I discovered programming as my passion at the age of 12 after creating my first website. In 2014 I had finished a 4-year software engineering apprenticeship which taught me a lot about Web, Java and Python development, as well as methodologies such as Clean Code, test-driven development, agile software development and much more. I've now worked in banking, e-commerce, insurance and a startup which deals with hardware and IoT. I enjoy taking advantage of all my skills, to work on frontend, backend, operations and architecture.
