"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.

Seeing this picture of my Raindrop.io dashboard gives me two exactly opposite feelings:
1. That's a lot of web bookmarks, even if that's my life's worth of web URLs
2. At least I do not need to look elsewhere, everything being at one place, and can be accessed across web browsers, on practically any machine I have access to
When you find the #ThinkPadX61s to be fast, that's when you've reached peak #ThinkPad. 🤓
The #GShock GA-150-1A is among my least liked #wristwatches till date, and yet looked great in this scene, proving the importance of lighting condition.
Yet another compliment (this time from a #Maserati driver) proves the same thing: a dirty car is more likely to get compliments.
#Subaru #BRZ #SubaruBRZ
@dammn I'm "kinda" that person. 🤓
@tusharhero Interesting...
What brought you to #Emacs?
For me, it was being able to split a file buffer across windows.
@poleguy @jameshowell @fdroidorg Thankfully, I haven't been in such a situation yet. I keep trimming my data, and keep an eye on the remaining storage space, and also preemptively upgrade storage capacity of my #Syncthing devices before it gets to that.
After years of #InboxZero, today I finally achieved a similar state across my messaging platforms.
And this, particularly for someone carrying over a decade worth of conversation history across multitudes of devices (including #SMS messages), being left with an almost-empty list means something!
@poleguy @jameshowell @fdroidorg Absolutely! And with how #syncthing and #Keepass becoming two critical elements of my workflow across #Linux and #Android, either of them stopping to work would effectively break everything.
@poleguy @jameshowell @fdroidorg I couldn't agree more.
@vascorsd My preference for keyboards is to have at least the layout as close as possible to the rest of them, be it external or onboard keyboards, so that when I switch between my machines, it wouldn't cause a lot of cognitive overload. Even with recent #ThinkPad designs, working with multiple of these is not as smooth as I'd prefer, let alone a different layout with "Cmd" and "Opt" keys instead of "Ctrl" and Alt".
