Inal Gotov

iOS Engineer, musician, tech nerd

I've been coding since highschool, starting out with Turing. These days I primarily focus on developing software for Apple Platforms including iOS and macOS. However I have decent experience working with JavaScript on the backend through NodeJS and Express. I've also dabbled a little with a bunch of other technologies including Web, Android, Linux and others.
