About Me

Hi, I'm Adrian Ibarra, a Senior Software Engineer who loves building innovative solutions and tackling complex challenges in tech.

When I'm not coding, you'll often find me:

Strumming my guitar
Hitting the gym
Studying Japanese
Studying aviation

Whether it's crafting software, exploring music, staying fit, or diving into the world of flight, I'm always driven by curiosity and a passion for learning.
