KNOW ABOUT ME

Back-end developer and Monday lover

Back-end developer with more than seven years of experience building APIs, cloud-native systems on AWS and distributed systems in Fintech and Web3. Specialized in Node.js, Typescript, Golang and developing scalable solutions based on microservices.

When I'm not working, I'm exploring new ideas, working out or thinking about my next trip. It's all about balance.
