Hey there! I'm Gabriel, a 17 year old software engineer. I love to absorb things around me and to build things of my own. I would describe myself as a highly ambitious and passionate individual.

Here are my 5 projects that I love the most:

• 🐲 gwydion: a programming language & compiler to LLVM made in Kotlin.
• 👁️ iris: a live messaging service/website built in Rust and Svelte.
• ♟️ caissa: a chess AI + website made in Rust and Svelte.
• ♣️ clubs: an extremely flexible & multiplatform Kotlin command framework (archived)
• 🃏 deck: wrapper for the Guilded API made in Kotlin (archived)

My favourite technologies/tools:

• Programming language: 🧱 Rust. I like the syntax, trait system, performance and the ease of use
• Web framework: ❓ Svelte. Simple yet effective, without all of React's nonsense.
• Compiler/Runtime Infrastructure: 🐉 LLVM. I like LLVM IR and the compiler itself, although I'm still learning!
• Relational: database: 🐘 PostgreSQL. Solid and has a big community
• Graph database: 📊 Neo4j. I found it very refreshing and fun

Some of the technologies/tools I found amusing enough to highlight here, in my profile page (honourable mentions):

• Programming languages: 🔀 Kotlin, ☕ Java, 🐍 Python
• Web frameworks: 💫 AstroJS and ▶ NextJS
• Relational database: 🐬 MySQL
• Others: 🎨 CSS, 🪐 Jupyter

Proficiency for the sake of it:

• Programming languages: 🗃️ TypeScript and 🌐 JavaScript
• Web frameworks: ⚛️ ReactJS
• Virtual Machine: 📻 JVM
• Markup languages: 🕸️ HTML

Aside from programming, here are some of my other interests & passions:

• ⚽ Football: I follow it religiously! I support of Cruzeiro & Real Madrid
• 🔱 Mythology: Most of my projects are named after mythological deities, because I find them cool
• 🗽 Philosophy: Constantly on my mind, I have a natural passion for it
• 📐 Math: It stimulates me to make associations and teaches me a new way of understanding my surroundings
• 𝚿 Psychology: I'm a vivid enthusiast of understanding human nature, love theorizing and applying its concepts
