I’m a self-taught software developer living in Madrid, Spain. I'm passionate about all things JavaScript and producing work that I can be proud of.

Through continuous learning, my aim is to be able to work confidently on both client- and server-side code.

I’m curious by nature, enjoy challenges and consider myself to be a quick learner. As regards work ethic, I strongly believe in the adage, “If you are going to do something, do it well”.

If you are developing an exciting project and believe my skills and knowledge could be beneficial, I would love to hear from you.
