Software Developer

I love to code, and design new ideas

Hi!

I'm Chris. Nice to meet you.

I have been coding for many years!

I not only have a passion for creating software, but also finding flaws in it too!

I love to do hackathons and competitions with my friends and colleagues.

Surrounding myself with talented people helps with making good friends.

I may take a second to situate myself, but then I make myself more than noticeable!
