Problem solving
transcends
programming languages.
I mostly work on full-stack and backend projects. I also enjoy going down the stack into C++, systems programming and game development.
01About
Programming since age 9
Programming is my job. It is also still my favorite hobby.
I started programming when I was nine and never really stopped. Over the years I have spent countless hours on pet projects, simply because building things and figuring out how they work is fun.
I like trying new languages, paradigms and technologies. Even when they seem unrelated, something I learn usually turns out useful later. The goal stays the same: solve complex problems with simple code.
02Expertise
Things I like working on
Web applications, native code
and quite a bit in between.
Systems Programming
I enjoy working closer to the machine with C, C++ and Rust, especially when performance, networking or internals matter.
- C
- C++ 11+
- Rust
Game Development
On the side I make and release my own games and creative tools. Most of them are built in C++.
- Engine-less
- OpenGL
- ECS (flecs)
- ImGui
Research & Optimization
I am interested in evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics for hard combinatorial and black-box problems.
- Metaheuristics
- Multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA)
