Profile

I’ve recently returned from travelling the United States for two months and I’m eager to get back to working. I’m looking to develop my backend skills further within a larger team and a company where there is room to grow. I love working on innovative ideas and trying new technologies, whether it's a new language, piece of software or hardware.
