Self-mastery is never ending work. It's a never-ending process of becoming more and more of who you are. - Eckhart Tolle

I finished my formal degree back in 2014. Since then, I've spent countless hours programming, watching video courses, and reading books and articles. I spent most of my time on web and game development, management, business development and entrepreneurship.
