About
Hey,
I’m Dario! Originally from Germany, but living in Estonia for most of my adult life. Räägin Eesti keelt vabalt!
My main motivation for work is avoiding pain and suffering: I’m still looking for my silver bullet. A set of abstractions core to everything so that every change to a system only ever requires creating more of things which already exist. Alas, I haven’t found it yet.
Say hello: me@dariohamidi.com
