Valeriu Tuguran

I work as a Java Fullstack Developer / Consultant / Contractor / Freelancer and help businesses take their software products to the next level. My programming language of choice is Java (back-end solutions using mainly Java stack), but I certainly enjoy solving problems with Javascript stacks (React.js, Vue.js, Angular) just as well. I am continuously looking for new challenges and self-improvement. Standing still means falling behind! Do not hesitate to drop me a message and let's see how I can help!
