About Filion

Hi! I am an IT specialist originally from Ostrava (Czech Republic), now living in Vancouver (Canada). Since my university studies I have been balancing on the edge between computer networks and programming and during my career I was able to use the skills of one field while working in another.

I am currently working on complex projects in software development, experienced in building interactive web applications end to end - from scoping through requirement specification, data modeling (E-R modeling), implementation (front + back end), testing and deployment along with designing and configuring required server/network infrastructure.
