I'm very passionate about technology and how it can be used to perform things that I like. My primary interest lies within systems engineering. As I grew up, I learned just how many unnecessary things are being done by software. Plus, I somehow grew into, at least in part, disliking most of what I came into contact with. I had many ideas on how to make things differently.
This way, I got deep into building my own systems, my own way. It started with games (missing freedom, actions I wanted to take), then morphed into: game engines (none really fit me; Unreal was too bloated, Unity used ... JavaScript); operating systems (kernel and userspace); programming languages (I love C vehemently, but ... it's not without its (many) issues); and most recently, it got into hardware itself, where I felt like the x86 is just a piece of convoluted, bloated trash.
I have an ongoing project to address each of the above. I've made quite some progress in some, less in others.

I love stats. For example, seeing a graph of my daily/weekly/yearly productivity or my long-term music listening history feels exciting. It allows you to take a look at the depths of your life, potentially uncovering ways to improve and become more performant.
