Profile

I consider myself a fast learning all-rounder with a peak of interest in the front-end. My main passion lies in creating great products and you will see me take interest in making sure that they feel right in the hands of the users. I have a habit of taking onto new challenges as often as I can, especially to solve my own problems, including making sure that the team is working as smoothly as possible. When I'm not coding I'm either rock climbing or studying Japanese.
