About me

About me
Japan with friends. May 2023

I wrote my first lines of code around 2010, messing around with Excel macros and BASIC in high school. It clicked immediately. I picked computer science as an advanced course, got into Java, and never really looked back.

I spent five years studying, first Business Information Systems for my bachelor's, then Computer Science for my master's. Lots of theory, lots of practice, lots of late nights. Alongside university I worked as a student developer at an ERP company, which gave me my first taste of real-world software.

After graduating I stayed in the agency world full-time. I started out building things with Ruby on Rails and did a bit of native Android development. Then Flutter became my main focus for a good while. But I never lost touch with the backend side of things. I worked with Spring Boot and Quarkus along the way, and eventually landed on Go for backends and microservices, which is where I feel most at home these days.

Throughout all of this, one thing stayed consistent: I care about how products are built, not just that they work. I like understanding the full picture, from the API contract to the button the user taps.

Lately I've become a big fan of Claude Code and AI-assisted development in general. It's genuinely changing how I work.

This blog is where I write about whatever is on my mind in tech. No grand strategy, just topics that I find interesting and my honest, humble take on them.
