About

I'm passionate about building beautiful UI's, reliable software systems, and a "part-time" traveler.

I believe that the greatest source of knowledge lies in experiences.

Computer Science Engineer

I am software engineer with a passion for solving problems and tackling new challenges. At the moment I'm looking for exciting projects!

Whenever I can, I try to explore new ways of living. I have had the opportunity to visit 17 countries, and for now, I am particularly interested in exploring southeast Asia.
