8 | 7 |
|
9 | | -- I like tools that stay predictable, projects that teach something new, and shipping work I can stand behind. |
10 | | -- Python is my go-to for automation, data-shaped problems, and backend ideas; TypeScript is where I build interfaces and web experiences I want to maintain. |
11 | | -- Photoshop is part of how I think about layout, imagery, and polish—not only for mockups but for assets that ship. |
12 | | -- This site itself is a static Next.js export: fast, easy to host on GitHub Pages, and simple to iterate. |
| 8 | +- Born and raised in DRC, moved to Finland in my late teens. |
| 9 | +- At 5 years old, I played super mario bros for the first time and fell in love with it. |
| 10 | +- At 7 years old, I touched a smartphone for the first time and I couldn't put it down. In my head, I couldn't stop thinking about how it worked. That is when my curiosity for technology started. |
| 11 | +- At 12 years old, I made a deal with a cafetaria owner to deliver his food every day so I can use internet for free. That was when I started to learn graphic desing. |
| 12 | +- Growing up, I was afraid of programming because I thought it was reserved for poeple gifted in math. I thought that algorithms were an extremely conplex subject reserved for the top 1%. |
| 13 | +- My first programming language was dart. |
