Be excellent to each other
Tristan here, a laid-back guy who finds fulfillment in the intricate dance of coding and building systems. Beyond the tech bubble, I'm either volunteering or exploring various aspects that keep life intriguing. Nature's my sanctuary, whether I'm hiking in the mountains or simply soaking in the outdoors. My true passion lies in coding, where I enjoy the challenge of crafting systems that reflect simplicity and efficiency. It's a chill blend of tech and hobbies that keeps things interesting.
