Summary

I am
- A curious mind,
- A quick learner. I rather enjoy learning new things, acquiring skills and understanding how things work!
- A good developer who can deliver and work under minimal supervision and appreciates interesting problems, interesting architecture and clean, self-explanatory code - that doesn't mean that I have not written monstrous spaghetti or self-repeating code or quick-and-dirty hacks. I believe we all have done that under certain circumstances :)
