More about me.

I love to play rapid Chess (10 minutes) games online, my Lichess username is borquez, currently I have a 1627 rapid ELO on Lichess.
I find competitive programming fun, I sometimes participate in CodeForces, my current rating is 1298.
Run! I enjoy running. I do mostly 5km to 15km runs, and I have ran 805km in 2021. My goal for 2022 is 1200km 🏃
My favorite books are The Little Prince, Flowers for Algernon, and probably The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I'm currently reading Peopleware.

I'm working on improving my writing and sometimes it is fun to share my process of making things.
