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 clean 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:

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