ABOUT ME

While technology, computers and programming have been my interests and hobbies since I was young, I have been a professional full-stack software developer since 2007, starting with Java Enterprise Edition and its related technologies, but now more focused on full-stack web development using .NET, C# and JavaScript.

I have a passion for web technologies, and aim to keep growing on my knowledge and getting better at my craft, while enjoying it at the same time.
