Profile: https://flows.cv/michaelz1

My approach to software engineering is multifaceted. I value concise, performant code, but I also enjoy exercising the creativity required to formulate novel and elegant solutions to problems and challenges. I follow a formal, systematic approach when developing and testing code by applying the principles of test-driven development. I thrive in environments where teamwork is customary, but autonomy is valued.
