Hi everyone! I'm Ahmad, a backend engineer based in Nigeria. My background is primarily Python, but I recently joined a team working on a payment and iGaming platform built with Clojure and Luminus, integrating payment gateways and game provider APIs on a MySQL backend. Still finding my footing with the language and the functional mindset, so I'm here to learn from the community, ask questions when I get stuck, and hopefully contribute back once I find my feet. Glad to be here!

A pleasure to have you with us, Ahmad! You’ve come to the right place for questions and contributions. The functional mindset took me embarrassingly long time to find my footing in. What helped me the most was to solve the easier levels of Advent of Code, and to increase the difficulty level as I gained insights.

Thanks for the insight @pez I will definitely check it out. I was fortunate coming from a python background, I was familiar with the functional paradigm.
