I have extensive hands-on experience in all stages of application development life cycle, including logical and physical architecture modeling, OO Structures (SOLID, DRY), data mining, performance optimization, application integration, social marketing, planning, implementation (Agile/Scrum & Waterfall), and dev team management.
My passion is algorithms, research and optimization for revenue, relevance and user-experience. Big fan of the chess game. Lived & worked in 4 different countries. Always full of new ideas and hungry for more knowledge.
