Summary

I am an experienced software engineer with great passion for the craft, always seeking the next challenge or the next learning opportunity. I'm quick to adapt to unfamiliar contexts and identifying the core pieces of knowledge required to tackle any problem. I love sharing what I've learned with others - to push more people to become experts in their own fields. I am quite a perfectionsit for clean, elegant and maintainable code. I am enthusiastic about anything related to games, science or artificial intelligence.
