Summary

Independent consultant and developer. I represent myself as AFri Consulting. After a commercial apprenticeship, I wanted more creative and challenging tasks. My talent for self-learning programming languages like C, C++, HTML sparked my desire to study computer science. After a few years as a consultant in employment, I craved more flexibility and the chance to explore different projects and environments, so in 2018 I decided to go fully independent.
