About me

My journey into the realm of coding began during my high school years when I stumbled upon a book about Java. The logic, structure, and potential to create something out of nothing captivated me. I wrote my first program, a simple calculator, and was thrilled by the direct impact of my code. This led to a Bachelor's in Computer Science and a career where I've had the joy of working with languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Scala, and Rust.

Over 15 years in the industry, my secret sauce has been a blend of insatiable curiosity, disciplined practice, and embracing challenges. I prioritize deep-diving into the fundamentals of each language I learn, as it provides a solid base to build upon. Moreover, I've found that teaching others is a powerful way to enhance my own understanding.

Focus on mastering the core principles of programming and algorithms early on. Don’t rush to learn the newest frameworks or languages until you’ve understood the 'why' behind them. Always code as if the person maintaining it is a violent psychopath who knows where you live. Keep your skills sharp with personal projects, open-source contributions, and by surrounding yourself with mentors and peers who challenge you.

Staying ahead means never resting on your laurels. I allocate time each week to learn new concepts, whether that's a new programming language feature, a trend in software architecture, or a breakthrough in technology. I also network with other seasoned developers, participate in hackathons, and contribute to a mix of commercial and open-source projects.

There's nothing like the classic combo of coffee and nuts to fuel a long coding session. The caffeine keeps me alert, and the protein in almonds provides sustained energy without the sugar crash. Plus, they're easy to snack on without getting my keyboard greasy!
