I’ve been a dotnet backend programmer for 5 years. I’ve learned a lot of dotnet, docker, microservice, k8s, ci/cd stuff and continuing to dig deeper.
As a hobby, I’m making games with my friends using Godot Engine; we’re now making an online service game, and I’m getting experience at software architecture being a solo programmer there.
In 2025 I got into my self-hosted era. I got a mini PC and started hosting lots of stuff on it, including our game server, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, and this site. And I want the list to get longer! I’m inspired to learn more skills this year, including golang, android (Kotlin) and some more web stuff, unavoidably.
A backend developer at heart, I’ve always hated the UI side a bit; I’ve been rejecting to learn any web frontend tech in a straightforward way and got used to learn my bits of frontend knowledge here and there (because I could’t avoid it). I have wanted to make “engines”, the code that “does stuff”, not “enables us to do stuff”. But I believe I’ve just not found anything truly beautiful, as for UI. I’m hoping android, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose would be this thing. Plus, I recently escaped the MIUI hell and got myself a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, so, I really wanna try and hack more mobile stuff in the future.
This is going to be my little digital garden, I’m going to post some thoughts, little projects, dev logs and who knows what, but I’m excited to share what I love and maybe even inspire someone. If you’re reading this, thank you for coming and have a nice day!
