Name: Lucas Guerra

Tech Journey: I’m currently in my third year of my tech journey working as a SRE, but I do enjoy a variety of fields in tech.

Langauges: TypeScript, C, Rust, Go, Shell, Java.

Why I’m Here: For the past 3 years of my carreer I've been only using OSS but now I decided to interact closer with the community and also get more experience with other types of projects that interest me.

Fun Fact: I used to code only for work but at some point during my journey I noticed that to actually make it in the industry I'd have to immerse myself further into the development world.
