About Julian

With almost three decades of experience, I'm a skilled full-stack software engineer adept at building robust APIs, leveraging diverse data sources, and facilitating seamless B2B integrations using .NET or Rails technologies. Recognized for my adaptability and expertise in cutting-edge technologies, I bring a track record of operational excellence, including four years as a Level 3 lead engineer of a large estate.

With a full-stack experience since 1994, I deeply understand business needs and excel in data integration, B2B channel building, data-aggregation and application building. Known for high-quality client interactions and adept at learning new frameworks, I bring strong expertise in functional and technical design, change integration, and holistic understanding of code's impact on business. Additionally, I'm currently investing in Harvard Python and Big Data courses to further enhance my skill set as an easy-going, constructive, and insightful team member.
