Profile

Software developer who’s always up to try something new. I value my contributions to be clean, maintainable, tested, observable and documented. When I design an architecture, I make sure it fits the purpose, and evolves as the requirements change. When I contribute to an existing codebase, I make sure to follow the existing philosophy.
