Interests

  • DevOps (obviously)
  • German cars — the good ones, that have 4 circles on the front, NOT the ones that start with B and end with MW CLASSIFIED — fine, BMWs suck. There, I said it.
  • Politics
  • Geography and History

Cannot think of anything else but trust me we can have a good talk about a lot of things.

Fears: unemployment

Thanks to my mentors at Telerik Academy for levelling up the stack.
