Who am I?

My name is Leandro Costa and I'm from a small town near Porto, Portugal. Ever since I can remember, I've been passionate about technology - I was the go-to guy in my class for getting games on everyone's PSP or Wii.

Today, I genuinely feel fortunate and grateful to work every day on something I truly love because, as the portuguese saying goes: Quem corre por gosto não se cansa. (basically, if you do what you love, you don't get tired).

For the last years, my main focus has been backend development, but I tend to also do some coding on my side projects, using multiple different technologies. While having fun with these projects, I also keep my set of skills and tech knowledge as broad and up-to-date as possible.
