"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.

@evgandr I remember using these tools on #SymbianOS and #WindowsMobile, but never used one for #Android.
So #TMobile tells me that the most used (and two of the absolutely necessary) applications on my #Android phone have never been used.
And when there was no other way to ask it to stop "cleaning up", and hitting "Continue", it goes on to recommend me installing absolute garbage, which is so contradicting it's own cleanup!
It's surprising how running #Linux on #Snapdragon based machines isn't there yet. So that means those #ThinkPadX13s examples will be out of my reach for a few more years!
Working over WiFi on my #ThinkPadX61s inside a #Chromium window, running an aftermarket 4-cell battery, while being unplugged from the charging outlet felt pretty "daring" today. 🤓
I could get at least few minutes of typing bliss.
(Yes, you can barely see the text on the screen)
And the battery literally jumped up from 38% to 54% after I just suspended the machine and resumed working! Did I just discover the secret of perpetual battery power? 😛
Isn't it weird that we still do not have external tools to be able to work with XCF version 22, the files generated by #GIMP3?
Yesterday, I gave up on running `xcf2png image.xcf -o image.png` and ended up exporting my XCF file as a PSD. This lets me convert it using #ImageMagick, as simple as `magick image.psd[0] image.png`.
Furthermore, I could can now even combine two steps: (1) converting XCF to PNG, (2) converting PNG to PDF; to a single step that converts PSD to PDF — all thanks to #ImageMagick.
@gravemind @Gina Add to it synced #Emacs workspaces, and it's been multitudes more than what I could have asked for in a multi-workstation setup.
@gravemind @Gina This has been serving me multiple advantages beyond just redundancy. It allows me to replicate my setup across my workstations not only in terms of software, but also with data. This means that no matter which machine (more so #ThinkPad) I pick up for the day (or task), I get the same exact setup in front of me.
@gravemind @Gina I'm thankfully covered with these "sudden death" situations as well, having plenty of redundancy across my workstations, and almost all my data folders synced over #syncthing.
I have this bad habit of not tightening screws "enough" in fear of over-tightening them and not being able to unscrew them ever again. What ends up happening is that they automatically come off over time, with me losing them way before I realize. The rattling inside was due to three of these ready to fall off, thankfully held by a service panel!
@dammn I believe not everything should have a brain of its own (see why I drive a manual transmission vehicle? 🤓). My spouse's car "thinks" whether me pushing the gas pedal should do anything at all for a second or two, before actually increasing the engine revs, and then suddenly upshifting the gears and dropping down the torque. 🤦🏽♂️
@dammn Thankfully, this thing is over five years old, and it's the outgoing generation of #SubaruBRZ where even the navigation update subscription has ended. On the other hand, I'm tired of losing basic functionality over #AI feature updates in consumer electronics. We now have #AI phones, #AI computers, #AI "everything", even where we don't need them.
