It's genuinely cool of you to swing by. Most people have better things to do.
I still remember my ICQ number (34535176), yet I routinely forget why I walked into the kitchen. Such is the human condition.
By day (and often by night), I write software. I speak Python fluently, enjoy Go when I get the chance, and have a complicated relationship with JavaScript that TypeScript is slowly helping to rehabilitate. I've flirted with more languages than I can politely count; most of them, unlike that ICQ number, have slipped my mind. I prefer Vim to almost any modern IDE, run Linux like it's a religion, and believe open source is one of the few unambiguously good ideas humanity has had lately.
When I'm not at the keyboard, you'll find me hunting for bright, fruity single-origin coffees (Ethiopia and Kenya currently top the podium) or listening to whatever musical chaos matches my mood—punk, indie, or the latest hip-hop and rap rabbit hole.
Lately I’ve been experimenting with the great LLM wave—pair-programming with Aider alongside Qwen, Gemma, Llama, Nemotron, and various providers like Ollama, Groq, and OpenRouter. It's intellectually fascinating. The promised tenfold productivity boost, however, remains... elusive. I continue the search with cautious optimism.
My interests cluster around FinTech, SaaS, crypto, data-driven systems, and the web. I create TradingView indicators in Pine Script and am steadily porting them to proper Python because, well, civilization demands it. Above all, I remain stubbornly committed to the KISS principle: simple, understandable code is not just nicer—it actually works more often and breaks less spectacularly.
If something here resonates, you’re probably in the right place.
