I'm not that good, or cheap. Just keeping a placeholder here not to get my ID stolen thus avoiding that someone can ripp you off. Contact for pricing doesn't mean only than I'm as expensive as they come. It also means I can be free (with all due respect), depending on the project and sinergetic added value.
Your time is my money.

Most my work is in the shadows NDA land, so sorry for the lack of disclosure on company/library partnerships...
Also keeps the mistery dark enough to bragg if you pay the beers.
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
