With over 15 years of experience in software development, systems architecture, and technical leadership, I am passionate about creating engaging and innovative mobile games and applications for diverse platforms and audiences. I currently work as an Android & iOS developer at Toolbox, a leading company in the digital entertainment industry, where I collaborate with talented and creative teams to deliver high-quality products and services for clients such as FoxSports, History Channel, and Universal.

As a freelance software developer, I also engineer complete projects from scratch, including back-end, mobile, and web front-end development, using a variety of technologies and tools such as Kotlin, Swift, Qt/C++, PHP, Python, GO, GIT, MySQL, MongoDB, GNU/Linux, and Docker. I have successfully led and supported other freelancers on large and complex projects, such as developing a native Android app for a major e-commerce platform. I am always eager to learn new things and expand my knowledge in areas such as embedded systems, multi-platform development, and systems administration. I enjoy solving challenging problems, optimizing performance, and ensuring customer satisfaction.
