Hello!

I'm Renato, welcome to my virtual space 🤖.

As a software engineer, I enjoy building solid foundations that others can rely on, and a few principles help me achieve that:

Think before writing code. Real world problems are complex; thinking through possible solutions before committing to a direction often pays off.
Keep the user experience in mind. I care about the people using the software I write, whether that's through a web interface or the command line. I believe this leads to better designed systems.
Document the process. I believe good, well written documentation is incredibly important, especially when it explains why key decisions were made and what the trade-offs were.

The question that got me interested in Computer Science in the first place was: why is every software seemingly broken in strange ways? This was around the time when we had a computer with Windows 98 installed. I believe the situation has not improved since then.

Writing software is fundamentally difficult. I am very interested in tools and techniques that help us write correct code, especially in the context of concurrent and distributed systems.
