About Me

  • Name: Natalia Kostrubin
  • Address: Thornhill, Canada

Objective

I'm presently expanding my solid experience in Web and Mobile Development. I focus on using my interpersonal skills to build good user experiences. I hope to develop skills in Java and C#, and become an honest asset to the business. As an individual, I'm self-confident you’ll find me creative, funny and naturally passionate. I’m a forward thinker, which others may find inspiring when working as a team.

Who I am?

I’m a developer and technology enthusiast. Programming is not just my job, it’s my passion.

I like creating new things, exploring a new frameworks and languages or solving a problem I never even knew existed. Do You know what most I love about programming? It makes people think.

When you develop the web application, as well as in the building construction, you cannot hurry - you need to think through every detail, to make it convenient and thoughtful, not just for search engines, but also for the people who will use it. In the planning phase you need to know exactly what the app is for and what tasks it will be addressed.

My core strengths are determination and adaptability. I can quickly switch from designing and coding websites to repairing computer hardware and software problems. I am always determined to do the best job I can which reflects in my design and development work where I am able handle any task I’m given, be it graphic or web design, web and mobile development, video or photo editing.

My goal is to create websites which act as effective marketing tools for my clients.
