Now (March 2022)

This page was inspired by Gergely Orosz and Derek Sivers now pages*.

Here's what I'm doing now:

You can see what I was doing previously here.


🎓 Now I'm learning

React

In my previous job at Marfeel I did not have the chance to learn and play with React as much as I would have liked. In my current job at Mainmatter I'm working on a project built in React.

It's good to learn by doing but when we cross that with delivering value in a certain amount of time is when some of the foundations can be left a part so that's why I've decided it's time to start learning the fundamentals and become a React expert.

The course I've chosen to do so is Epic React by Kent C Dodds.

You can read about this journey in my blog

Rust

Rust is here to stay. A lot of interesting projects are going on, the community is huge and loves it, and I'm excited to learn more about it.

Due to my interest in web development, software automation and the opportunity to learn and use Rust with Mainmatter, I decided to start doing my first steps with it.

The course I've chosen to do so is Exercism.io's Rust track.

If you are curious about my progress and submitted solutions to the exercises, you can see them here
