Hi!
I've been working since 2015, and I mainly worked for companies in the finance sector (for mid/big EU banks) but I also used to see more from the outside world (for example startups founded by me).

I enjoy describing my role as a recipe with the following ingredients:
* Software developer experience (front/back)
* Architecture experience
* Cloud knowledge
* Some magic / personal inspirations (to taste) <-- coming from personal projects/startup/initiatives

Last but not least, my hobby is running ultramarathons. It relaxes my brain, and it organizes my ideas in order to be ready for the next challenge.
