Kars van Velzen
T(h)inker. Engineer. Actively.
Hi, I'm Kars! I like working on and with software. Programming machines fascinates me. On this place, named Octubre, I connect & dwell digitally. I aim to publish blog posts and code, my resume, thoughts or plans, and creative work while continuously developing my technical skills. I take joy in researching and putting learned insights into practice. I'm code agnostic as each language is learnable, especially with Artificial Intelligence. Yet, I do favor Python (effective), Rust (performant) & Haskell (elegant).
