About me ✨

Ever since I was young, technology has always been full of surprises for me. Although a common experience for everybody, from video games to CGI in entertainment, I was personally intrigued to hear how things worked.

Because of this, the accessibility to express yourself, I believe it's the reason I've picked up a lot of hobbies over the years. Well, not that many, but from learning to play the ukulele, painting, skateboarding (I still can't do tricks), to eventually editing, writing music and stories, making video games and web applications, I've always enjoyed the journey, especially since I like to share what I do with my close friends. Occasionally, when it comes to my personal GitHub projects, it's a love-hate relationship because of the bugs I stumble upon, but I manage in the end.
