Me

I am a long time programming enthusiast and now pursuing a career in one of my dearest hobbies. I am interested in a wide area of technologies while I tend to lean towards low-level architecture and data-oriented design. C is my favorite language of choice because of its simplicity, elegancy, portability and suitability for low-level development.
