I'm a self-taught software engineer with 13+ years of experience. I've been building various products and tools over the years while working at different companies. I work best with Javascript/Typescript across the full stack while specialising in the frontend where I've been using React for years. I consider myself a beginner with Rust. In my spare time you can find me playing with Raspberry Pis, home automation and LoRa mesh networks.
