Software Development
Over the past 15 years, I have worn many different hats during my work at several startups, enterprise companies and as an independent contractor. Communicating with clients to gather requirements, estimating development efforts and using agile principles have always been an essential part of my daily work. Besides writing robust and maintainable code, I confidently manage software projects through their entire lifecycles - from the first line of code to automated building, testing, deployment, monitoring and alerting.
