๐Ÿ“ซ How to reach me

โšก Fun facts (AKA, get to know me better):

  • I make bread. Well, to be more accurate: I make dough. Carbs rule everything around me. I love making sourdough bread, pizza dough, English muffins, and all types of pastas. I also have made tartlettes, scones, soft pretzel bites, and soft pretzels.
  • I used to weld and do sheetmetal work in a factory and now I write code. It was quite a jump.
  • I've been to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We had a team there that I trained on a new software for my company.
  • Huge nerd, especially sci-fi movies and television! Think: Stranger Things, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, but also comic books and video games.
  • "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it" โ€”NdGT | The good thing about my code is that it works whether or not I understand it
