About

I'm a software engineer who deeply cares about crafting high-quality code. Knowledge is key, and it's a joy to keep on learning and exploring. I started my journey creating IRC bots in a scripting language, modifying and extending game engines in C++, up to building solid back-end solutions in .NET. Get in touch and let's talk software.
