About Me
Hello there! I'm Alex, a lucernian with a unique blend of skills in chemical engineering and full-stack web development.
As a chemical engineer, I thrive on solving complex problems and optimizing processes. My expertise lies in modeling of phyico-chemical systems, and I am dedicated to applying my knowledge to create innovative solutions.
On the digital front, I'm a dedicated full-stack web developer with a strong commitment to the principles of free and open source software (FOSS). From crafting seamless user experiences to building robust and secure backend systems, I thrive on the power of collaboration and the ethos of sharing knowledge. My tech stack includes Next.js, tailwindcss, React.js, GraphQL, etc., with a special emphasis on leveraging the advantages of open source solutions.
Bridging the realms of chemical engineering and software development, I am on a mission to demystify the intricacies of chemistry and process modeling. In the lab, I navigate the world of chemical engineering, optimizing processes and solving challenges. Simultaneously, on the digital frontier, I channel my expertise into developing software that brings this complex science to life in a user-friendly way.
