I’m Patrick Santino. I build apps for work (and for fun).

I've been exposed to computers at a tender age of 7, my first memory of it was my dad playing DotA on his Pentium Core 2 Duo-powered PC. It fascinates me what fun things you could do with just a mouse and a keyboard.

That's the very first thing that led me into this field. After I finished high school I pursued an Information Systems degree because it was related to computer. It's also a degree that gives me a lot of flexibility in my career path. During my studies I tried many interesting fields in computer science including UI/UX Design, Data Science, Cyber Security, and more, but I enjoy programming the most.

I finshed my studies while doing some internships to experience what it's like to build actual software that people used. I also participated in a programming club during my time in uni.

Today, I work as a software engineer at Alta.
