I'm offering
I have been developing software for almost 10 years; 8 years of which I have been developing for iOS and Android and this is where my passion lies currently.
I have very good problem-solving skills and love taking a problem and working it out like a puzzle until I have a solution.
I've been told I have great communication skills and always try to find a good balance between business and project communication.
