SUMMARY STATEMENT

For the past 7 years or so, I've been working as an Independent Contractor. It's a challenging place to be. There is not much stability and lack of guarantees. However, I immensely enjoy the freedom and opportunity to work for the smaller companies and start ups. It keeps me on my toes and my technical abilities are at their sharpest at the moment. I really enjoy connecting with people and nurturing friendships through my field of work. At the end of the day, bringing my client's ideas into reality is the most rewarding experience ever! It fulfills me and reminds me of why I choose this path in the first place!
