If it's tech, expect me

I am self-driven, practical, and hardworking. Quite often likes to exercise entrepreneurial thoughts and talk about creating solutions. I am driven by creating an impact and desire to help newcomers coming after me on the same path. One of my most notable traits is my determination and grit. I am a generalist always excited to learn something new. A kinesthetic learner, biased toward Linux, with contagious energy.
