Hey folks, Alvar here! Currently I'm very into React and declarative UIs in general, but I'm also learning design and how to blog.

My story as a developer starts with a $2 computer from a flea market, which you can read more about on my website!

I'm open to

beta testing new products,

mentoring,

speaking at events,

speaking on podcasts,

activism,

making introductions,

talking to journalists,

and partnering on side projects.
