ABOUT ME
Software Engineer with 10 years in web applications
Software Engineer with 10 years in web applications
I am a software engineer with almost a decade in experience. Most of my experience is on web systems for e-commerce, finance and business management. I design and implement solutions with the best industry practices and with great care about the details.
Problem solving is my strong suit and is one of the main reasons I enjoy software development so much. Every project gives you the oportunity to solve real problems.
Working at my own company has taught me the challenges business face during their growing phases and the importance of rapid iteration and develop a product based (almost) completely on customers actual needs.

That's why React caught my atention since it's early days. I have been using React successfully in production.
