"It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Gray? I don't know what to do with gray..." - Garrus Vakarian

Summary

With over fifteen years in software, my career is a blend of passion and expertise. Since beginning in the early 2000s, I’ve worked across a variety of platforms, tech stacks, and disciplines, spending the past decade dedicated to building dynamic web experiences with a focus on front-end technologies.

My approach to technology is fueled by curiosity, a forward-looking perspective, and a dedication to constant improvement. These qualities empower me to tackle challenges both within and beyond my primary expertise. I’m also deeply committed to mentoring and sharing knowledge, aiming to inspire both my team and the broader professional community.

Being a Technology Enthusiast

For me, working with computers is more than just a job—it’s a genuine passion that extends beyond the office. My interest spans both software and hardware, leading me to regularly contribute to open-source projects and participate in online developer communities. I love experimenting with all kinds of machines, not just computers, enjoying the exploration and tinkering process.

Hobbies & Personal Life

Guided by a scientific and methodical approach, I bring a sense of order and sincerity to every aspect of my life. Outside of work, I enjoy optimizing workflows, tinkering with gadgets, and relaxing with role-playing and strategy video games. I also have a unique fascination for cars, particularly the art of driving manual. Through this mix of technical skills, organization, and diverse interests, I find fulfillment in both my personal and professional life.

For the hundredth time, audio on is complex, especially when you attempt to set it up for on a headless server.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

I just set up Fabric framework on a local server, and seeing it work first-hand is awesome!

*Next up:* reproduce the setup on a machine with some real horsepower.

@kev That's unfortunately how it is with . Even though I've been primarily running on all my servers, desktops, and laptops for most part of the last decade or more, every time I promote it to a friend, there's a blocker right within the first couple of hours. It's either the lack of polish in that one particular software package, a hardware driver limitation, or something trivial.

When the gets wild, I find it hard to decide whether to bring it back to sane levels by knocking of "low-hanging fruits" or to stick with the priority while going from high to low.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

@kev And yes, a lot has happened since I reached out to you for pointers on where to start my watch collection journey. The collection has overshot, so I pushed myself to trim it back to a little less than a dozen. 😋

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

@kev I had been resisting this watch so strongly, but finally settled with a GW-9300 to fill this gap in my collection. 🤓

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

I'm in love again! Oh, wait! Is really that good, or is it just infatuation? 🤓

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

And things like being able to adjust my sensitivity through a slider without having to worry about the device name under and is like riding a bike hands-free.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

I've been maintaining my growing universe of utility scripts for a few years, but a distribution that holds my hand to set even missing audio and video codecs post installation is something I don't mind getting used to.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

is my new . I mean, isn't going anywhere (at least anytime soon), but can't I have more than one preferred distros? 🐧

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

@the_etrain And if you'd extrapolate, the trajectory is scarier.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

@jbaty @kev I found to be like the of universe. Do check it out if you haven't yet.

The realization that "important" and "urgent" aren't the same thing keeps coming back to me, several times a week.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

There are certain "important" tasks that need to be taken out (to closure) and moved out of the head before those "urgent" ones can be focused on.

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

- Add a few tasks to my todo list
- Get overwhelmed ("when will I ever get it all done")
- Drop a few tasks (relief)
- Soon: "I'm wasting my life away!"
- (Repeat)

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

Also me:
- "This is cool! I think I should share it with the world."
- restructures the task in form of a story, records/documents every single step
- shares it with the "world" with full excitement
- no one bothers to read / watch / give feedback
- reconsiders sharing future projects of similar nature
- comes across something cool
- (repeat)

@myTerminal@fosstodon.org

My four-year-old tells me that I'm old and am soon going to die (in my thirties), while she isn't as she's still small. What do I tell her about the state of this world right now! 🤦🏾‍♂️
