Software: I am an architect who enjoys making products that have a solid link with the real world. While I cover any step involved in software production, what I like the most is creating libraries, as a means to promote collaboration among people. In fact, this made me excel at design and refactoring skills.
Team: I am a leader who strives to make life easier for any environment he operates in. I motivate people around me with fresh strategies, to attain business goals without losing focus on entertainment. My endeavor is getting to know what my peers are passionate about and finding a way to pour that into the daily routine.
