💻 Wannabe developer, and 🤖 automation enthusiast with over few decades of experience breaking and fixing things since the inglorious days of Visual Basic 6.

Most of my projects begin as a simple idea and eventually evolve into a Python script, a Docker container, an ESP32, a custom PCB, a home server, or a questionable overclocking experiment. Sometimes all at once.

My operational states can generally be classified as:

• 🍺 Drunk
• ☕ Recovering from being drunk
• 🤖 Building something unnecessarily complex to automate a task that takes 30 seconds manually

When not occupied by the first two states, I enjoy designing automation systems, building robotics projects, developing self-hosted applications, experimenting with embedded systems, optimizing home infrastructure, and extracting every last megahertz from computer hardware that probably shouldn't be pushed any further.

🤖 Any task performed more than twice should probably be automated.

🏗️ There is no such thing as overengineering, only future requirements that haven't arrived yet.

🍻 A good hoppy IPA is remarkably similar to a good piece of software: initially bitter, occasionally misunderstood, and ultimately appreciated by a surprisingly dedicated community.

🍷 Fine wine and legacy code share a curious characteristic: both can improve with age, but only if they were built properly from the beginning.

🚦 The most dangerous systems are the ones that look harmless. This applies equally to software, infrastructure, and old turbocharged sleeper cars waiting at a traffic light.

🏁 Never underestimate an old turbocharged sleeper. The same rule applies to software: the most impressive performance is often hidden behind the most unassuming interface.

• 💻 Some Software Development
• 🐍 Maybe Python Automation
• 🕵️ Reverse Engineering, why not?!
• 🏠 Self-Hosted Infrastructure
• 🐳 Docker and Containers
• 📡 ESP32 and Embedded Systems
• 🤖 Robotics
• 🖥️ Computer Hardware
• ⚡ Performance Tuning and Overclocking
• 🚗 Automotive Engineering
• 🏁 Turbocharged Performance Builds
• 📊 Data Collection and Monitoring
• 🧠 Artificial Intelligence
• 🔨 Building tools that solve problems nobody else realized existed

• 💾 Backups are cheaper than regret.
• 📚 Documentation is a feature.
• 📈 Monitoring beats guessing.
• 🏗️ Simplicity is often achieved only after several iterations of unnecessary complexity.
• 👨‍💻 Every engineer eventually becomes a systems administrator.
• 🖥️ Every systems administrator eventually writes code.
• 📡 Every developer eventually buys an ESP32.

Many of my projects exist because I was too lazy to perform a task manually.

The irony is that I usually spend ten times longer automating it than the original task would have taken.

I regret nothing.

Powered by Python, questionable engineering decisions, hoppy IPAs, and the occasional turbocharged bad idea. 🚀
