Alexandre Lim

My mission is the satisfaction of my customers by delivering quality software. I've been in a startup, a medium-sized company, and a large company. I worked on private and public projects. I was a back-end, front-end, and full-stack engineer using many languages like Java, PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Programming doesn't come easy to me. It's hard. That's why I choose to broaden my experience to learn and improve my craft.
