I am a 28 years old software engineer with extensive experience in Elixir, Rust, and JavaScript/TypeScript web ecosystems.
Interested in functional programming and software craftsmanship, I aim to deliver maintainable, performant, and useful software. Working remotely for 7 years, I'm capable of owning projects end-to-end, from product design to infrastructure management, while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
Based in Toulouse, France, I'm passionate about software and game development, hiking in forests, visiting cute villages, kayaking in rivers, and drinking specialty coffees.
