Consultant
Brazil
Experienced in all stages of Web Development using a variety of tools. Somewhat partial to dynamic programming languages, but flexible enough to use an optimal technology for a specific project or to adopt to a wider programming environment or team.
Having worked for major international clients not only on many projects of significant economic importance, but also on a number of small in-house projects, I don't have a clear preference for project scope. However, I like to work on interesting projects that I can feel passionate about.
I am a national of Bosnia and Herzegovina and of Croatia with a permanent resident visa in Brazil. Further to my native language I speak English, Portuguese, German and French.
My activities include pro bono technical support for a network of environmental NGOs in the Amazon region.
