my name is tyson horvath, and i am a 25 year-old passionate software developer, currently living in sweden. i have a master's degree in computer science and i am currently employed for Opera Software, the browser company. fun fact, i wrote my first program in 2011, when i was only 11 years old! while i have a broad interest in various aspects of computer science, i have developed a particular fascination with compilers, language construction, and operating systems. beyond my love for programming, i am a people person. i like meeting new people and collaborating on projects.
