A hacker at heart, I have been coding since ‘08 and started building products soon after. I hosted my first website on an Apache server with mod_php on one of my old laptops using Dynamic DNS. I love talking about physics, especially the nature of reality. Like most engineers, I too suffer from intermittent episodes of the shiny ball syndrome. When not pushing code, I enjoy a nice cup of coffee, cycling, 3D printing coasters, making cocktails and voice enabled IOT devices.
