Hi! 馃憢 Welcome to my Portfolio, I’m currently working as a Software Engineer and spend a lot of my time exploring ideas鈥攕ome turn into projects (which sometimes I finish XD). I enjoy building things, learning in the open, and occasionally writing about what I discover along the way. If you’re working on something interesting or have an idea you’d like to explore, feel free to reach out!
