Hey folks 🖖!
Let's do another quick #introduction as I moved to this instance - the reason being that it somehow felt like being trapped in a silo :).
I'm Davy, a senior software engineer currently living in France and working for #startups in Germany since 2014.
I love #nature, #opensource, #science and many other things.
Currently doing a bunch of #java and #typescript at work. Nowadays, my main focus is on #zig & #rust.
