About Me

I have a diverse background in software development acquired during 11 years of experience on several different fields. I've built games and apps for mobile, GPU intensive tasks, embedded software, desktop and web applications. I've also helped a SaaS start-up scaling their bare-metal Linux cloud during 3 years as a SRE.
I am currently focused on building scalable web apps with Elixir/Phoenix/React and fun games with Godot.
