-I'm a software engineer interested in functional programming, compilers,
-programming languages, blockchains, and zero knowledge proofs.
-
-I'm always keen on learning new things, applying knowledge to help people solve their problems, and share ideas and experiences. I value the importance of soft-skills in every day work and the ability to make trade-offs in software development.
-
-At the moment I provide my services as an independent contractor helping businesses to build better software.
