Creating technology-driven solutions with passion
About
I’m an autodidact Software Engineer passionate about computer science and economics.
It all started with a simple interest in understanding how computers work, and before I knew it, I was spending hours each day learning new skills and putting them into practice. The journey hasn’t stopped there; every day brings something new to explore, and I’m continuously extending my knowledge.
When I’m not coding, you’ll often find me staying active through swimming, running, or playing football or tennis. These activities keep my mind sharp and help me approach challenges with a fresh perspective.
I’m also deeply interested in economics, particularly in the fundamentals of money, macroeconomics, and human capital allocation behavior. This passion informs my decision-making and helps me navigate an ever-changing world.
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the exciting field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Specifically, I’m exploring techniques to enhance open-source large language models. It’s a rapidly evolving field, and I’m eager to share what I learn along the way.
To conclude, here are some of the technologies I'm experienced with:- Go
- Python
- Docker
- AWS
- Azure
- GCP
- Elasticsearch
- Typescript
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Prometheus
- Nginx
- Rust
- Bash
