"Writing code, playing chess, and believing in open source"
Hey there! I'm a software engineer with 8 years of experience building things that matter. By day, I build enterprise solutions with .NET, Node.js, SQL and cloud platforms. By night (and weekends), I'm either deep in a chess game on lichess.org or chess.com, hacking in Neovim, or contributing to the open source community in a few ways I can.
I believe in the philosophy of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) – not just as a development model, but as a way of thinking. The best solutions emerge when brilliant minds collaborate without barriers. That's why I'm a supporter and contributor to the global open source movement.
Strategic thinking isn't just for software architecture. You'll often find me playing rapid games on lichess.org and chess.com. Chess teaches patience, pattern recognition, and thinking several moves ahead – skills that translate beautifully into debugging complex systems.
Fun fact: A good chess game and a well-refactored codebase share something in common – elegance through simplicity.
Why Neovim? Because efficiency matters, and there's something
deeply satisfying about never leaving the keyboard. My
init.lua is a living document, constantly evolving
with new plugins and configurations. I add my configurations from
kickstart.nvim. Modal editing isn't just a tool – it's a mindset.
I believe the best developers understand their tools at a fundamental level. Neovim forces you to think about text manipulation as a first-class programming concept.
The open source community gave me my tools, ideas and a
distraction-free clean software experience. From Linux to React, –
I rely on FOSS daily. That's why I believe in giving back through
contributions, documentation, and supporting maintainers. I have
contributed documentation to a desktop development framework
called Flet - a python based flutter development
framework for building desktop applications.
Open source isn't just about free software; it's about transparent, collaborative problem-solving and the belief that knowledge should be accessible to everyone.
"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer.'"
Whether you want to discuss clean code, organize your notes using PKM, or collaborate on open source – I'm all ears.
