I have been interested in computers for most of my life and I have professional experience spanning Frontend, Backend, Mobile, Infrastructure and DevOps.

While my deepest expertise is currently Backend and Infrastructure, I love building software of any kind and I am always looking to learn about new topics.

My programming journey:

  • 1999: Born with 0 programming skills
  • 2008: Learn C to make video games, probably understand 10% of it
  • 2012: Build PSP homebrew in Lua to copy my favorite MMO, thinking screenshots with clickable areas is the way
  • 2014: Discover outside world
  • 2016: Read Nature of Code, become obsessed with Maths and Generative Art
  • 2017: Study Maths, Physics and Computer Science to avoid picking one
  • 2019: Go to Engineering School to study Computer Science and Applied Maths
  • 2021: First professional experience building a mobile app and website
  • 2022: Second experience as a Fullstack Engineer, discovery of the Cloud and DevOps
  • 2022 - Now: Join a scaling up SaaS product company, work on Backend then pivot to Infra team to explore new areas
  • Now: Building https://workfromearth.com out of frustration with bad job boards

What I love outside of software engineering:

  • Science fiction and Fantasy
  • Cooking
  • Video Games, especially Souls and Rogue-likes.
  • Surfing and Skateboarding
  • Weightlifting and Calisthenics
