Web Developer with almost 5 years of experience in designing and developing websites, landing pages, email campaigns, and apps.

Having both creative and technical backgrounds make me a unique mix that grants me the ability to work with these two fields and benefits the front end development path. I believe continuous education is the key to success so I’m always curious about new things. My main goal is to produce good quality products that bring value to the world.
