I'm a software engineer in Canada with about 1 YOE that specializes in full-stack web development. Initially got started with MS Batch, then Python, then TS and Go. One of my goals is to master Rust this summer :)

Mostly have been doing embedded / embedded linux. I got lucky for my first role as I didn't have relevant internships or anything, after that it was fairly smooth. My goal for this summer is to be outside :)

I've been a software engineer for a little more than 3.5 years now. Before that, I studied for 5 years: 2 years at the university, 3 years at an engineering school where I actually did an apprenticeship. I mostly write Java and Javascript for work. I work in a small worker-owned company, which is a fantastic experience! If that is relevant, I am French and I live in France.

I'm just starting to be interested in functional programming and to learn about it. I already did some Haskell as a student but I never explored it too much. I'll probably learn some FP languages in the upcoming months: probably a Lisp dialect (I don't know which one yet) and Haskell.
