Introduction

I'm a software developer with 15+ years’ experience in both web and desktop applications. I have a passion for improving other people’s lives, and early in my career I discovered that technology was one of the best ways to do that. Software development has given me the chance to work in different fields, as diverse as aerospace, finance, human resources and media.
