I have 20 years of experience in software development. I have strong team leading skills but after all these years
I still prefer to be hands-on programmer in the team. I got two master’s degrees, one from economics and one from
computer science.My passion is to build the right software right. I hate working with things that do not matter. I hate building bad software. But I love building great software that brings real value.
Since 5/2022 I've been working at Infinite Athlete.
