About me!

I am a Software Engineer, double daddy, musician, farmer and carpenter apprentice.

Developing user experiences for + years now, i started by creating intranet browser applications. Searching for larger scale projects, moved to large scale development where seriously learned about web while the technology itself was growing. Went from static to full administrable, intranet and public websites, front/back-end applications, web-services, widgets, integrations, documentation, e-commerce and forums.  Back in 2007, while exploring the web environment, i had built my own collection of tools, this is the framework i use when developing my personal projects.  Later, the passion to deliver content & features to the user, lead me to study about mobile platforms. After a four year period as a full-time mobile applications developer, i started to search for the next step. Freelance was the way. Since then I'm  working every day to find creative ways to deal with real life challenges.
