Faustino Kialungila
Software engineer from Angola, based in Paris. I build the parts of a product people actually touch,
and I care about the difference between something that works and something that feels right.
Currently Lead Front Engineer at Avanteam.
Co-creator of Excalidraw. Outside of work I do open source:
tooling, libraries, and things I wanted to exist. Mostly React, React Native and TypeScript.
