      My name is Chris, and I can confirm that I am from Earth. I am a Software Engineer, primarily working with Python (Django framework), React (NextJS), Angular, and React Native (iOS and Android). My current role is as a Lead Software Engineer, where I write code and guide my colleagues to write similar code that fits my organization’s demands.

      I write technical articles on anything I love and learned to help make the docs a better place. When not doing all this nerdy stuff, I cycle, play video games, or plane spotting.
