I keep servers running, firmware compiling, and too many hobbies alive. Embedded + sysadmin by day, automating my own workflows the rest of the time. Moscow region, Russia. RU / EN.
- Embedded — low-level firmware work and DIY electronics.
- Home lab — a rack of Windows and Linux VMs and a NAS that has never once been fully backed up.
- AI — local LLMs and agents that automate the boring parts of my day. My second brain handles the remembering.
- Making — 3D printed parts, budget CNC, laser engraving. If a bracket exists, I'd rather print it.
- Collect and restore retro tech and retro gaming hardware. There's a lot of it.
- I build launchers, overlays, and UI shells for Linux phones and small screens.
- Security side-quests — pentest labs, tooling, and breaking my own stuff first.
- Concerts and time away from screens — usually outside.
- I test smartphone cameras against each other more seriously than anyone should.
