My Story
Philosophy
I believe that software development is a tool to improve human life. I find software to be the most powerful way to share value in order to connect people and improve the quality of all our lives.
Passion
Software engineering for me is like painting or sculpting, it's a way to take a complicated and beautiful structure, connect all the dots piece by piece, and create a masterpiece. It's more than just art, it's life.
Dedication
That's why I wake up with a smile and keep it on all day long. I am lucky to be paid for doing what I love the most. I'm not smarter than others, I just really care. I love what I do and do what I love, so I don't play the nine-to-five game, I live it 24/7.
Leadership
This rush makes me develop community projects like Stunity and learn new paradigms and tools with the passion of a child getting a new toy. I share my beliefs with others to inspire them, and some follow. I also learn from others. That's what makes me a true leader.
