Why should we work with you?

I have a strong technical background and have personally coded full projects. I possess a keen eye for user experience, have launched several startups, and managed teams both remotely and onsite.

I enjoy working on a wide range of creative projects across different domains. My strength lies in online businesses, tech products, particularly in mobile apps.
