I am a creator.

I love building something new or striving to build it better. Maybe it is a fancy website in React and Node.js, desktop experiences in native toolkits on Linux, resilient infrastructure with Kubernetes, or even fun learnings with Blender and Godot. My drive is making technology fun, approachable, and engaging for everyone.
