I'm a Programmer
About
I’ve had a passion for technology since the 1990's, starting with building and programming computers. Over the years, this interest has evolved, and about 10 years ago, I transitioned into IT leadership. My journey has allowed me to combine my technical skills with a passion for guiding teams and optimizing IT systems to deliver results. I focus on bridging the gap between business needs and technology, ensuring that both sides are aligned for optimal solutions.
I also love mentoring developers and helping them grow in their careers. Watching people evolve in their craft and find their own passion for technology is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring new technology projects, building circuits, and diving into the maker community. Music is another significant part of my life—whether I’m making it or consuming it, I find inspiration in the creativity it brings.
I believe in the power of technology to solve problems and enhance the way we live and work.
