Résumé
I started building websites as an amateur in 1999 and served local businesses like corner shops, traders and pizza makers. My career as a freelance professional web developer started in 2002 when I used to bid for projects online and get paid on project basis. I found my first employer/steady client in 2006 that encouraged me to work on their projects as a permanent staff and I happily accepted although the hours were odd and I had to follow overseas office hours. Finally I relocated to UK and pursued my Masters in Computing while working for the same employer on part time basis. In 2011 I started working as a contractor in the UK and later I was offered a decent job in London which, along with other projects made me feel confident about my efficiency and ability to deliver things right as expected.
