Hello! I'm Gary
12 years in the Web and Mobile software development business. I have worked in more than a 100 projects in my country and abroad. Custom software has been my speciality. User centric experience has been the technique I have applied ever since, this has led me to successful products and happy clients.
​
PHP (Laravel and Symfony) and NodeJS are part of my web technologies portfolio. For mobile apps, I have worked with Android, Xamarin and IOS. I prefer REST APIs to connect apps with the server side. I am always looking for streamlining the software life cycle with automatization tools, unit tests, software versioning and automatic deploys. Amazon Web Services has been my favorite service to deploy my cloud projects.
​
Who am I daily in my daily life? I have 3 dogs, I love to work out and hike in nature. I love soccer and I am also part of an NGO.
​
I will be happy to help you with your technological needs. I have a network of trustful professionals to offer you a full stack of solutions.
​
Hope to hear from you soon!
