About Me
- Software: I enjoy making useful products, meaning software that has a solid link with the real world. What I like the most is making libraries, as a means to promote collaboration among people. In fact, this made me excel at refactoring skills.
- Team: I am a leader who motivates people with fresh strategies, to attain business goals without losing focus on entertainment. My endeavor is getting to know what my peers are passionate about and finding a way to pour that into the daily routine.
- Bitcoin: Since 2013. I made BitcoinSPV in the dark 2014/15 years, which back then was the only full-stack client in Obj-C (later discontinued). I shared my experience in the blog series "Basic Blockchain Programming", where I tried my best to expose the very basics of the one and only, the Bitcoin blockchain. I was probably too early, but I seek new opportunities to make a difference. I empathize so much with common people struggling with Bitcoin, having felt so myself.
