Über mich
Since 2008, I've specialized in Salesforce, starting with Piqqo where I became the go-to Salesforce expert through self-taught Apex skills. At EPAM, known for engineering excellence, I honed my collaboration, maintainability, and OOP design skills, notably in Apex, contributing to a now industry-wide Salesforce testing methodology. I thrive in diverse tech environments, skilled in Java, Scala, JavaScript, TypeScript, Elixir, and C#. My passion lies in integrating complex applications and services, demonstrating a knack for turning intricate problems into elegant solutions. Beyond the code, I'm driven by the challenges and puzzles software development presents, mirroring my love for logic games. My ambition extends beyond financial rewards; I'm motivated by projects with environmental impact, aiming to use my technical skills for meaningful change.
