Kaspar L. Palgi
Project Manager, Coder, Co-Founder of CrewNew.com – Freelancers’ Agency
I’m a BA IT graduate that’s best at UX/software planning, software architecture and developing software in various programming languages/frameworks/platforms, including Python, PHP, Node.js, Ruby and more. I’m worked with various frameworks like Django, Flask, Rails, CodeIgnitor, Yii, Zend etc. I have experience also with most of the popular open source solutions like Django CMS, KeystoneJS, MODx, Magento, WordPress, OpenCart, Prestashop, vTiger, Odoo, Rhadoop/Hadoop and the list goes on. I always keep my eyes open for the most promising new technologies such as MEAN Stack, Kivy, Meteor and many various others that facilitate building multi-platform applications. I’m a very adept project manager that can always come up with a short/smart and simple solution that works. I’ve completed a teaching course at university that has given me plenty of experience teaching in front of a classroom, performing remote one-on-one training and creating easy to follow manuals. My general skills are in business development. I started my first business when I was 13 and my first IT company when I was 17. Right now I’m a shareholder of four different companies and am currently working on establishing a promising new start-up that will utilise IT management to make freelancers (like us) much more productive.
