Hi, I'm Alex!

I'm a software engineer who enjoys understanding how things work under the hood and making them work better.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work on different kinds of software, from desktop applications to fault-tolerant distributed systems and scalable backend services, primarily using C, C++, Java, and Python. I've worked in both large companies and small startups, and each experience has shaped the way I approach engineering problems, with a focus on performance, reliability, and simplicity.

I spend a significant portion of my time reading books, taking evergreen notes, writing code, and creating with technology. For me, the journey of learning and improving my skills is as rewarding as the outcome itself. I believe in having a passion for your craft and paying attention to detail.

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to explore and get to know a bit more about me and my work. Check out the projects page to explore some of my open-source work, reading for summaries and reviews from books I've read and more. There is also an article about my early projects.
