About Me

Hi, I'm Cesar, a passionate software engineer with experience in full-stack development, UI design, and real-time data systems. I currently work at Citi, where I build high-performance applications that traders rely on daily.

I'm always picking up new hobbies and finding ways to tinker and learn. Whether it's 3D printing, cooking new recipes or crafting cocktails. I think the best way to learn a new skill is to dive in and start experimenting.

I'm always looking for the next opportunity to push boundaries and build something great.
