Having worked as a software developer since 2004 and remotely since 2010, I appreciate results-oriented teams with highly efficient processes. While development processes and ceremonies are important to achieve team goals, I believe the team should focus on the outcome that provides real value to the end users.

I prefer working on challenging projects with cutting-edge technology stack to solve real-world problems and make user’s lives easier. Having team management experience, I also prefer to write real code by myself.

Starting a project from scratch and delivering functionality that helps real users in a short time motivates me a lot.
