TL;DR — I write code, play video games, love tech
When I first interacted with a computer, I was always been curious about how things are made from scratch, whether it be hardware or the very pixel you see in screens, that's when I started to slowly fall in love with tech.
A hot take, I firmly believe that in order to hone your craft, you'll have to sacrifice some of your free time. Fortunately, in my case, programming is my hobby and it just happens to be my profession.
These days, I'm focusing on DevOps, systems and infrastructure. I'm also learning Rust on the side. As this website implies, I'm a full stack web-developer. In fact, this website is a portfolio builder and you can try it by going to /dashboard. You can also check the the source code in github
I play video games when I'm not programming. No, I don't play casual games but I can probably destroy you in any game given the time and practice. Yes, sweaty gamer here, I also use Arch and Neovim btw.
