About
I've been into math and systems since I was a child and I used to play with building blocks, puzzles and mind teasers, so you can imagine my joy when I first found out you could get the computer to do what you wanted it to. I still feel that same joy every day when I design, develop or deploy something
I'm detail-oriented and a bit of a perfectionist, however I'm comfortable with 'good enough' results when time matters
I've integrated AI into my daily work life, but I still like to think. I plan first, discuss details and ask the agent for improvements. I still review most of the output, though. Good taste and performance can't be automated yet
I've led teams and shipped full-cycle projects as a team member as well
