Portrait
me.
Hello! Welcome to my website! I'm Edwin, it's nice to meet you!

I have always been drawn to tech and curious about how things are built. We had one shared PC growing up in my family. When I was first introduced to emails and online messaging, it felt surreal. This drew me in, making me question things and wanting to learn more. Today, as new technology is being developed and showcased at a much faster rate, I still find myself feeling excited and inspired.

Throughout the years, I have worked with a wide variety of frameworks and tools which has helped me quickly learn and adapt to new technology. Outside of programming, I love escape rooms, travelling, and thinking that I'm a great photographer when I take pictures of the food I eat. Keep scrolling to learn more about my experiences!
