About me

I am a fullstack developer: backend with Java / Spring Boot and C# / .NET, frontend with React and Vue.js. I have professional experience on enterprise applications in production, applying regulations and digital document signing with X509 certificates. I am interested in REST API design, microservices and CI/CD.
