Backend engineer who's been in love with computers since age 5 — and programming since 2012.

About Me

Started with Prince of Persia,
ended up building the real stuff.

I had my first computer at age 5, spending most of my pre-school years playing Prince of Persia (Not the Sands of Time!) and MK3. Growing up, I got more and more interested in the science behind the machine, which caused me to fall in love with programming ever since 2012.
