Welcome to my page.
I am Alexandre Almeida, also known by the username M374LX, a software developer, musician, and open source contributor.
I am also interested in coding for retro platforms, like the Sega Genesis.
The username "M374LX" comes from blending the word "metal" with my first name and then replacing the letters E, T, and A with the digits 3, 7, and 4, respectively.
The previous style "M-374 LX" was abandoned on May 2022.
