I am a fullstack developer with more than 7 years of experience, specialising in Javascript/Typescript development - although I also have experience with Python, AI, and bioinformatics tools.

Throughout my career, I have acquired a wide range of technical expertise; from frontend development all the way to DevOps, databases, and deploying and managing AI.

In my last four years as a CIO, I have gathered extensive management and business strategy experience, including aligning development with client needs and enforcing security and data privacy.
