About me
I'm a full-stack software engineer.
My passion for software development started with mobile app development, specifically Swift, Objective-C, and Apple platforms. I've since broadened my skillset to include frontend web technologies such as React and TypeScript, as well as backend technologies like C#, F#, Haskell, Rust, ASP.NET Core, SQL, and others.
Learning, applying, and teaching functional programming has become a passion of mine.
