Hello, I'm Kristoff. I'm a software engineer who enjoys building apps & websites. My focus is React Native.
About me
An autodidact, my expertise in software engineering is enriched by a comprehensive background in Psychology and Business, along with a self-directed mastery in full-stack development. Driven by an innate passion for creation and problem-solving, I have immersed myself in cutting-edge technologies including React Native, Expo, Next.js, Node.js, and GraphQL. Proficient in TypeScript, my dedication to perpetual learning fuels my pursuit of a full-time role where I can apply my skills to groundbreaking projects.
Outside of programming, I am an avid swimmer, music enthusiast, traveler, and pet lover, with a keen interest in history and art and the evolving landscape of AI technology.
