cv / bonus track

I really like the maxim "you are what you eat."

​

At work and in life, it's also "you are what you do" and "what tools you use to do it."

 

Good tools & workflows will not make you efficient or better per se, however, inefficient software can limit your abilities profoundly. That is the reason why I always try to look for better tools, workflows, and solutions constantly.
