algorithms, networking, concurrency, graphics, web development,
infrastructure and cybersecurity. I also build modern applications
with JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React Native and
relational databases.

My long-term objective is to strengthen my expertise in web and mobile
development as well as database and data architecture, while
contributing to meaningful products within a professional team.
