I've been a programmer for thirteen years.
I have 10 years of PHP experience, 2 years of Java and C#, a year of Python, and nobody is safe from JavaScript.
I am passionate about writing easy to maintain code.
I'm also a big fan of SCRUM and how you can build motivated, happy teams around it.
I've worked on a lot of types of projects.
From small to medium projects where I was the only developer to medium and big projects in teams of 30+ people.
Besides being a developer, on some projects I've also have the Scrum Master role, or led the process of applying Scrum inside the team.
I am currently writing mostly Java, and have certifications in PHP and Scrum.
