< ABOUT ME />
For more than 17 years, I managed and grew a family-owned fruit trading business, developing strong leadership, communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Driven by a passion for technology and innovation, I transitioned into software development and am now focused on building modern web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL and Docker.
Currently based in Ireland, I combine entrepreneurial experience with technical expertise to create scalable digital solutions and deliver real business value through technology.
