Who am I?

Portrait of Afonso Barracha
Pondering my life choices...

Southern European Quantitive Developer hopeful turned into the Pacific's most employable Software Engineer, personally endorsed by the PM himself! At least in my dreams...

After enough segfaults and null pointers, I moved from C and the interpreted snake language to fancier languages that you can read in the "My tech stack.exe" executable, in an infinite quest for employability.

Currently wrangling with a Digital Identity platform at MATTR because I once forgot my physical driver's licence and the bouncer didn't let me in. With the release of Windows XP, I've set my sights on ML/AI closer to the metal with Rust, C++ and Python.
