About me

I'm a software engineer with a versatile background. I can do:

• Frontend development with React / Typescript / NextJS.
• Backend development with Go / Ruby / NodeJs.
• SRE / SysOps works with AWS / Azure / Kubernetes.
• Data engineering with Scala / Spark.

I learn new technologies whenever I'm interested or as the job requires. I don't limit myself to the typical software engineer archetypes. To me, the thing I build is more important than what I build it with, and there is no excuse for not making myself capable.

In my spare time, I hang out on StackOverflow, contribute to open-source projects and tend to this blog.
