Summary
Hey all, I'm a 23-year-old Software Engineer @ Paddle specialized in Distributed & Parallel Systems, that also dabbled very strongly in Algorithms and Programming Language Design.
I'm very interested in Distributed Systems (although I enjoy keeping myself updated in most areas related to CS, from Programming Languages to Machine Learning), and as such my career so far has been focused around Backend & Data Engineering.
