FAQ


  • What are my favourite frameworks and libs?

    FastAPI, Django, HTMX

  • What are my favourite tasks?

    Research and prototyping. Trying new middleware, libraries, technologies and integrate them.

  • What is my choice of OS to work on?

    Since “it just works” I prefer to work on an Mac/OSX/iOS environment. Linux on the server side.

  • What is my preferred linux distro?

    Debian for servers, Ubuntu for desktop, Raspbian for Raspberry Pi

  • Do I have a no-no list

    Ticket pingpong. Meaningless meetings that could be an e-mail.

  • Hobby projects

    Too many. Microcontrollers, Proxmox cluster.

  • Preferred learning platform

    Udemy. Or read the howto and go from there.

  • Wishes

    I am doing an iOS course, because I never got into “GUI” development. Then will jump into Unreal, because I am curious about how the netcode works

Blog

I will eventually add a blog section, where I will be detailing some projects I have worked on. Maybe some courses I am currently taking. Challenges, interesting details, etc.
