Description

I have been an IT passionate as soon as I wrote my first lines of code, back to middle school.
I believe I am versatile, and I am always trying to improve because I love what I do. In my free time, I like to tinker with 3d printers, all my computers (Pis, Arch installs), and I love cooking (understand eating).
My efforts are currently Rust-focused since I really enjoy the coding experience.
