For four years, I have been scrutinizing every cent that comes in and out of my wallet.
I tried paid apps, one crashed and lost a month worth of transaction history, so I settled with Google Sheets.
Google Sheets is highly dependable and packed with powerful features and add-ons to manage data, I was tempted to stay.
I only do programming for fun, it's not listed in my job description, but I love automating stuff at work.
Outside work, I do tutorials as sidejob and and also make apps and tools for personal use.
Around 2018, project Thunder Guava came into conception as a solution to my habitual urge to audit my expenses and plan my cashflow.
A prototype was made, but I wasn't able to complete it due to a gut feeling that I wasn't ripe enough to develop it.
2019 came and I began using Kotlin for Android, I was a late adopter but still I was glad I stopped using Java. I fell head over heels with Kotlin, it was less verbose and far more easy to use that Java.

I also started using Python on a daily basis, with this I got more insights of the Pythonic way and that sparked of my own flavor I called Pythonic Kotlin.

Kotlin and Python seemed a perfect match.
I began making packages for what I called Pythonic Kotlin, it isn't at par with the current standards, but it is my own way of speeding up development at my own level of understanding.
I'm going for a XML-less Android App development, using UI classes to generate widgets on run-time.
I'm also using GSO, no important use yet, but I'm planning to integrate cloud once the MVP is ready for use, Google is a good candidate in differentiating unique accounts.
My goal into programming isn't about learning every new features of the top programming languages, but only focusing on learning the basics and using it to create MVPs/minimalistic tools to improve my daily efficiency.
This is an ongoing project, a pocket-sized financial assistant, currently I'm working again to make it into fruition before the year ends. Just simple libs, lightweight UI, and straighforward features.

Aside from art & farming, I also do a bit of CMS, IoT, ML, and automations, if you're interested in programming follow me.
