About

I'm a software engineer, currently working on backend development in Go and working regularly with AWS. I also have previous experience with frontend development in React.

I believe in lifelong learning, and I enjoy working with new technologies and learning new skills to keep my knowledge up-to-date. As a new software engineer, I practically learn something new everyday! I am also adaptable and a quick learner, allowing me to contribute value in a short time. Apart from technical skills, I constantly work on my soft skills like communication and time management as well. I still have a lot to learn and I look forward to using the skills I pick up to do meaningful and impactful work.

In my personal time, I like to make cool stuff with the skills I've picked up. Other times, you'll usually find me exercising, spending time with my fiancée, or fighting bad guys in Kamurocho.
