Bio

Full-time freelance web and mobile developer who loves building things, or making existing things better.

Involved in commercial application development since 1997 - freelance since 2007, mostly focused on Ruby on Rails (10+ years), Javascript (React, Angular, jQuery) and PHP/MySQL type stuff, after several years working with Java, Perl and C/C++.

I also dabble in mobile development, both native iOS and Android and hybrid HTMl5 apps.
