Helgi Steinarr Júlíusson

Software Developer Reykjavik, Iceland
Hi 👋 I am a passionate, fast learning Software Developer that loves most things technology related! My current biggest interests in tech lie in game development and full-stack web development, however I love exploring other areas of computer science. I have solid programming skills and have experience with languages such as Python, Javascript/Typescript and C# in many frameworks and technologies.

Some of my other interests include tinkering with cars and boats, sailing, diving, games and most recently rekindled interest in microcontrollers and fun electronic projects with them.
