Profile

I love technology and creating stuff. It doesn't matter if it's software, web sites, drawing, or games - I live to create. I'm also constantly searching for new knowledge and ways to improve my skills. I'm the type of guy that is never bored for there is always some new technology to play with or a technique to master.

My life's passion is to build things for people that makes their life easier and consequently happier. There is nothing more satisfying than creating something and having people use it and love it.
