Lucas is a software engineer. At the age of 10, he began wondering how to communicate with computers. This passion, which started two decades ago, has developed into a strong ability to translate stories and envisioned product sketches into computer-readable languages. Lucas primarily works with TypeScript and utilizes frameworks like React to build UIs. For APIs, he leverages either Next.js or Vanilla Node.js.
