I am a mostly self taught programmer. However, don't let it fool you. I believe I am actually pretty good. I've won competitions and created many projects. I am passionate for this and love programming, and also, I need the extra cash :)
Work Terms
I can work for around 20 hours a week because I have to study and etc. During holidays and after the test season I can work for around 30 hours the week.
I prefer texts but I'm also comfortable with calls and Skype.
