about_me
I have always enjoyed solving problems, which is one of the reasons why I started programming. During my journey, I have had the opportunity to learn a wide array of languages, technologies, tools, and processes. My general opinion is that every language has its purpose. It all boils down to what problems you are trying to solve.
