about
I'm a full-stack engineer focusing on creating scalable and maintainable codebases. I have extensive experience with TypeScript, React and Next.js at a startup. Thanks to my work experience at an ad agency, I've honed my communication skills to solve real-world problems interactively.
My main focus these days is teaching coding and web development to a small group of uni students and graduates. I don't get paid for running this study group, but I genuinely enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills based on my experience :)
When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy working out in the gym and hanging out with my wife with a cup of coffeecoffee
