I am a passionate and driven software engineer who loves solving hard problems. My deep understanding of technical issues helps to also make me a great leader since I am able to set realistic deadlines and understand and help if low-level difficult problems arise on a project. I always strive to continue learning and expanding my skills, and pride myself on being a great problem solver. I love being hands-on doing software development and creating reliable software that meets the needs of its users. I have a 10 years of experience working in the open and feel that my open-source contributions help to capture the expertise and experience that I bring.
