Profile

I am always eager to learn new technologies and meet new people, stepping out of my comfort zone is a motivation for me.

I like to talk to users on a regular basis and strive to understand what they want and need.

I am proficient in Rust, Zig and JS/TS and I enjoy working on distributed or high-performance systems.

I have built CI/CD systems and I like automating things in general.

I like low-level programming, and I have written a hobbyist UNIX-like operating system.
