If something defines me, it's that I'm a technologist driven by curiosity. I've been working on the web since its early days and learned to code as a child on an i386 that I convinced my father to buy (though I admit, I played games on it a bit too).Over the years, I've done a variety of things: systems, networks, visual design, backend, and frontend development, which is my current focus. I really enjoy building things and thinking about how they work at a fundamental level. In parallel, I've also built a career as a teacher. I love teaching and connecting with people—I'm a very social person.One key lesson I've learned over the years is how to scale technologies and understand the true role of an architect: knowing how the company operates and being pragmatic, as technology is just a tool to achieve business goals.
