Résumé

About Me

I’m a (so far hobbyist) programmer, skilled with Python and Scheme, knowledgable about Linux systems and QA.

I’m looking for a job that allows me to put my skills to good use, and sharpen them further as I go.

Would prefer remote jobs, but I’m open to relocating within Romania, possibly anywhere in the EU under the right conditions.
