Programming

I've been dealing with programming since my junior high school, and since my senior years modern C++ has been my crush. I do not like like webdev but it's not the worst thing I've done for money. I've got some experience with GIS and embedded systems. I adore Microsoft-based solutions but I use WSL Linux on a daily basis, macOS often too, or even FreeBSD. Below you can find links to a selection of my projects, the rest can be found in the Programming section.

Creativity

I like lyricless music of various kind. I used to play the keyboard, I've even managed to make some arrangements. While I am no artist, I do know a couple of folks who deserve this label.

For some bizarre reason I like a particular TV show about talking pastel horses. Watching it, and also all the activity inside its fan community has inspired me to write and draw.

Other interests

I love natural and constructed languages. I feel sorry for the fact that I don't have enought time to learn them.

I like sustainable development of urban infrastructure. While I can't be called a railway lover yet but I am very eager to brag about my list of visited train stations.

I love pets (especially cats), unless they are arthropods. My wife prefers dogs.

I am in possession of some retro computer hard- and software from last four decades.

World view

I try to be Catholic. I am an altar server designated to perform the function of a lector.

I'm a moderate conservative, somewhere between monarchism and minarchism. With each election year, I know less and less who to vote for. The more decisions are made locally, the better.

I am a proud inhabitant of Tczew. I jokingly postulate great Pomerania from Rügen to Klaipeda.

I believe that one can solve any problem using Microsoft Excel (except perhaps the hung up Excel).
