# About me

I started coding approximately five years ago; I had (and still have) a great passion for science, outer space, and programming. Coding is my passion and this is what I do for a living, and as a hobby. I regret no hour spent coding; I really love it and appreciate the time I spend solving complex problems and devising a new strategy to do A and B. Since I'm mostly self-taught (with professional education), I'm always looking to learn new things, and improve myself in the areas I can.

A few facts about me:

🔍 I focus on the backend and API aspect of web development. 

🔭 I’m currently working as a translation contractor & full stack web developer.
