Hi there 👋

Hello and welcome to my GitHub! I'm Simon, a professional software developer specializing in cloud solutions, Angular, and TypeScript.

Here, you'll find an intriguing blend of my professional expertise and personal interests, highlighting my journey in both software and hardware realms. Take a look around to see how I apply my software skills to create innovative, tangible solutions. Feel free to reach out for collaborations or discussions on anything tech!

Curated Project/Repo List

Important

These projects represent my personal endeavors and may not fully align with the quality standards I adhere to in my professional work.

To make it easier to find my projects, I've curated a list of my most interesting repos.

• Tekskey (2023): custom split orthogonal keyboard
