Senior backend and fullstack developer with a demonstrated history across a variety of programming languages such as C#, PHP, SQL, and most recently Haskell. My focus has been backend development, but I also have a track record of working with non-technical stakeholders, such as designers and product owners. No matter whom I’m working with, I’m open, flexible and easy to work with. I try to bring the best out of everybody by sharing knowledge and providing support, as well as listening to their expertise to make working together as smooth as possible.
