About ✨

Hi! Thanks for visiting my website. This is a space where I share things I'm passionate about. It will likely always involve computers in one way or another 😀

You will find projects I've worked on (some of which I continue to use & maintain) and some stuff I've written.

This is also a playground I sometimes use to try out different things. I started out using Jekyll, then moved to Hugo, and now the current version was a full rewrite using 11ty . So I may break things every now and then 😅

I got started with coding back in 2011 when I started learning VisualBasic. I still remember one of my first projects back then - was a simple desktop application that would solve Sudoku puzzles. I didn't know much about solving Sudoku puzzles (and I still don't!) so the algorithm basically brute forced the puzzle until it found a solution. It was a lot of fun to build!

Since then I've worked with a variety of languages across a variety of projects including Java, C, C++, C#, and more recently Python, Kotlin, Go, and some Javascript with ReactJS and Svelte. But I still consider myself a backend dev! 😁

My experience has taught me that once someone understands how to write code, the language they use isn't that important. A new language will have slightly different syntax and a different ecosystem of tools around it, but at the end of the day, code is code.

I love solving problems, automating stuff, and building stuff people enjoy, regardless of the language 💙
