My professional path up until now has taken me through all the stages of software development, from being handed a testing scenario to assembling and leading web application dev team.During that time, I have worked alongside a few great professionals, but also encountered my share of not-so-well-written pieces of software. Through both I learned to appreciate clean code, clear design and straightforward communication with clients.These days I do whatever needs doing in a technology startup. Sometimes that means solution architecture, system security and team management, sometimes it's debugging frontend applications or brewing the next batch of coffee.
