About

I am a passionate Senior Ruby on Rails Developer with over 10 years of experience in developing robust and scalable web applications. My focus lies in creating innovative solutions that drive business success and enhance user experience.

Throughout my career, I have led development teams and collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality projects within tight deadlines. My experience includes designing solid architectures, optimizing performance, and implementing best practices in agile development, always including the corresponding tests.

I like learning and staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends in the world of software development.
