Pwning teh internetz since 2007
I love interesting & crazy stuff, clean reusable code, maintainable scalable hi-load architectures, shells, vim, tmux, awesomewm, drones, IoT, Doom game series, UT99, multiplayer game hacking, OpenSource, heavy/thrash/stoner metal, traveling, motorcycles (I own a Honda Transalp 700/2009), snowboarding & random adventures.
I like to pursuit fresh ideas, to be precise in my profession & to be verbose in communication.
I've been coding for around 12 years and experienced a lot of technologies. My belief is that every task requires a specific set of tools and technologies in order to be solved efficiently. That's why I often switch mainly between Python, JS, C, Java and Go (sorted by experience.)
