Hi, I am

Gali Armero.

I love building things that simplify.

About Me.

Hello! My name is Gali – short for Galileo. I'm a software engineer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 currently based in Berlin 🇩🇪. This is my own little corner on the Internet where I share things that excite me like writing simple concise code, learning system design and solving puzzles.


I grew up in the small town called Canaman in Camarines Sur. Soon after uni years, my journey took me from there to busy Manila and eventually to vibrant Berlin.

Lately, I have been building distributed systems in the fintech space. Here are some of the tech I've recently worked with:

  • Kotlin
  • Java
  • Spring Boot
  • Python
  • React
  • MongoDB
  • PostgreSQL
  • GraphQL
  • Docker

When not coding, I enjoy biking, exploring new places, listening to podcasts, playing basketball, following my Lakers, and solving daily puzzles. I also write about my learnings, insights and experiences in my blog.
