Background

My hacking journey started with writing a mIRC bot (deployed on QuakeNet) and setting up dual-boot for Windows XP and Gentoo Linux - I started early enough to remember the LILO bootloader ;).

I have Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. My thesis (and project) involved topics related to condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of electrical motors, digital signal processing as well as electronic circuit and PCB design.

I’ve also finished postgraduate studies in Software Engineering. You can check a group project, where I was responsible for backend and infra at:
