Call me Kubo!
- I am a freelance project manager and software developer with production experience
- Currently studying IT, although most of my technical foundation was built outside classrooms
- I like to build in unfamiliar domains - games, embedded, CLI tools - and every one of them makes me better at the next thing
- I take craftsmanship seriously - I build things to last, not to "just work"
The fastest way to get in touch with me is through email at business [at] gustafik [dot] com.
