Cristescu Bogdan Ion
tech guy • developer • perpetual learner
I enjoy the good in the world and loathe the bad. I strive to be better. I have a passion for science and technology and also for knowledge in general. I have an overarching curiosity.
I am a tinkerer at heart with a fascination for understanding the inner workings of everything. I enojoy both complexity and simplicity.
My goal is building sturdy, secure systems with a focus on utility.
