About the author

Allow me to share a bit about my journey and how I arrived at this juncture. I have been a dedicated software engineer since 2016, contributing to a diverse assortment of projects across various languages. My experience spans from nimble startups to established fintech companies. Throughout these experiences, I’ve honed my skills across a spectrum of languages and frameworks including PHP/Laravel, C#/.NET, Java/Spring Boot, Dart/Flutter, Angular, React, and more.
The latest addition to my repertoire is Golang, which has ignited a newfound passion within me. While I could certainly spend hours espousing the virtues of Golang, I will keep it succinct here: in my view, Golang is “simply the best”. For those who remember the 90s, this might bring a chuckle or two!
