About me:

I always love to learn new and different technologies [0] in order to gain new perspectives on computer science and software development. I don't just skim some "learn x in y minutes" post about some new topic then slap it on my resume and call it a day. I like to derive a deep understanding and discover the best practices by reading books and creating projects.

I enjoy working on every aspect of the stack. For example, I can and will debug with GDB or write bindings if needed [1] but I also enjoy working with the rich front-end ecosystem, such as React.

While I do love to learn new and different technologies, I do it from a practical perspective of gaining new insights and potentially discovering a better tool for a given job. However, if I need to use something considered "boring" like Java for the job at hand, I'll do so without complaints—I don't get hung up on petty superficial details—and I'll do my best to make useful and lasting contributions with an eye towards solid software engineering and improving the team’s productivity.
