Hi, I'm Kiefer

I'm a |

Passionate about building efficient, scalable systems and creating innovative solutions with modern technologies. I love exploring new programming languages and diving deep into personal projects.

About Me

Who I Am

I'm a passionate developer from British Columbia, Canada 🌲, with a deep interest in systems programming and algorithm implementation. My programming journey spans multiple languages including Python, Rust, Swift and Go, with a particular love for building efficient, performance-focused applications.

I work with modern frameworks like Svelte, Leptos, and Tauri, and my projects range from classic game implementations to web scrapers and personal productivity tools. I believe in writing code guided by efficiency and constantly exploring new domains to expand my programming horizons. My editor of choice? Neovim, naturally.
