About

I am passionate about people and problem solving. :) Currently I find myself interested in Microservice Architecture and Big Data, since I didn't have the chance to gain job experience in that field. Keywords: Python .. and a few more: Flask, JavaScript (JQuery) and relevant web knowledge, Agile, C++ (used only for scientific purposes), Decipher (chances that you know it are low, but I am advanced in it).

      I was programming projects with aggressive timelines, while having all of the project related communication.

The web platform we were using was rapidly evolving, so we were doing our best to stay on top and still offer competitive timelines.
