About Me
You may know the saying "Iron sharpens Iron".

As a consultant, I have worked with the brightest minds from top companies to
the hottest startups in North America. And my one promise is that I will focus
all my arsenal of knowledge and best practices on positioning your app above
your competitors.

With an entrepreneurial mindset, and a proven track record of increasing return

on investment by improving development processes, mentoring peer developers,
designing modern architectures, and developing full-stack applications through
RoR, React, Vue, Node, and AWS.

I always provide the best solution and optimize with strong problem-solving and
troubleshooting skills.

I have always been a quick learner, so I can quickly adapt to new things.

Also, I believe I am pretty sensitive to the needs of the people I work with and
this makes me suitable.
