About Me

Welcome to my website where I discuss topics I am interested in and keep all my thoughts, Tech related or not, with an emphasis on web development and free and open source software.

I have hands-on experience with back-end technologies like Ruby on Rails and Elixir. I believe in continuously learning and improving my skills to stay updated with the latest trends in web development.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy writing about my learnings, challenges, and tips that can help fellow developers on their journey.
