About me

I prefer collaborating and solving together over working in isolation. I love the immediacy of front-end development and the rigor and discipline of back-end development. I prefer doing things over talking about things. I like doing wire-mocks and designing, but I’m not a designer. I can manage projects and timelines when required, but I prefer experimenting and learning over scoping and planning. I love learning new things. I don’t like silos.

But if you want someone to create and manage cloud infrastructure or Kubernetes clusters, I'm not your guy.
