Hey there! My name is Fabio and I am a Software Developer and I build things for the web.
Crafting digital experiences, one keystroke at a time!

About me

After graduating with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I completed a coding bootcamp and learned full-stack web development.I enjoy being able solve complex problems and develop efficient solutions. There's something special about the 'aha' moment when everything clicks into place. Some notable technologies I've used includes Node.js, TypeScript, Python, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. As an AI enthusiast, I am always looking to learn new technologies and collaborate on new projects!

When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, working out, and playing with my dog. I also enjoy solving puzzles; advent of code, wordle, chess, crosswords, you name it! I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in CS at Georgia Institute of Technology in Machine Learning.
