Programming has been a passion of mine long before I decided to make a career out of it. I've been building and tinkering with programming off and nn since high school in languages such as python and javascript, and I wrote my first real programs: (a special purpose discord bot, and a 2048 clone.
I have a special affinity for problems involving multi-threaded and/or distributed systems, and I'm always looking for new tools and techniques to make these kinds of problems easier. I've built a strong foundation and in this domain using promises/tasks, observables(rxjs) and semaphores for programming primitives, and serverless, docker, and proficiency with many different databases for infrastructure.
Some skills I've picked up along the way outside of web development are related to statistics, machine learning and computer vision, using libraries such as pandas, pytorch, numpy and opencv to build things both in my personal projects and sometimes at work when they were needed.
To round things out I've also got a basic grip of c++ and rust for more systems-programming oriented tasks, though I plan to branch out into go when the opportunity arises. I've also done plenty of performance-aware programming in typescript(for example the code behind the background of this webpage, blog post coming soon).
