👋👋
Hey, thanks for being here.
I am a software developer currently based in a beautiful city of Zürich, Switzerland. I am passionate about designing and developing a tech product which can help to solve a meaningful problem (and hopfully not cause more problems along the way).
I am a strong believer in the value of lifelong learning and sharing is the one of the best ways to learning. Thus, this blog I devoted to share random observations, thoughts and experiments in both my professional and personal life.
