Who I am

Backend programmer and DevOps enthusiast, curious and always eager to learn new things. I often study things that are out of my experience, such as videogame programming (Unity, Godot) or Blender. I love exploring new technologies and improving my skills, especially while working on personal projects. In my free time, I enjoy composing chiptune music, mentoring kids, gaming, reading books (i'm a little geek), and traveling.
