Hi there 👋

• Android lover since I got my first smartphone running Gingerbread, I started Android development in 2014.
• For me, there is no better job than being a developer. With just a computer, you can build approximately everything. You just need to learn stuff. There is no dependency on material things. The only limitation is your imagination to invent new things!
• I spend some time making iOS development to know the difference (tools, project structure, language, environment).
• Currently learning to make Gradle works for me instead of being afraid to interact with it.

Presently, I'm working at MWM, developing an ecosystem of "creative" apps that interact together to unleash people's creativity.
