Journey into the World of a Dinosaur-Loving, Music-Playing, Frontend Developer

Hello, world! Welcome to my first blog post.

If you've poked around my website, you've probably noticed the pink dinosaur and figured out I'm a frontend developer. My daily work usually revolves around things like React, TypeScript, Astro, Zustand, and whatever else gets the job done. But I figured I'd use this first post to give you a quick tour of who I am when I'm not just centering divs.

I've been messing around with the web since I was about ten. Back then, I started building simple websites for local shops in my hometown, which officially stamped me with the "nerd" label. It's a badge I never really took off.

But my background isn't just screens and keyboards. For years, I expressed myself through playing music and singing (you can check that out here). I don't do it as much these days, but I still think building software is a lot like writing a song it's all about finding the right structure and rhythm (luckily, no "symphony of code" metaphors here, I promise).

If you dig deeper into my past projects, you'll also find a solid interest in blockchain tech, specifically Cardano, where I spent time as a Catalyst Advisor. The hype cycles in Web3 are crazy, but the underlying mechanics of how it all works still fascinate me.

When I need to properly disconnect, I usually lose myself in story-driven games like Final Fantasy IX. Lately, I’ve also been playing around with Unity for VR projects. I'm not building the next AAA game anytime soon, just exploring it for a potential personal project and having fun.

Off the screen, I read quite a bit, mostly about psychology and the weird intricacies of the human mind. I'm currently reading LSD: My Problem Child, which is definitely providing a lot of food for thought.

And finally, let's address the pink dinosaur in the room. There is no deep philosophical meaning about "the passage of time" or my life path. I just really like dinosaurs, so I made one my logo. Simple as that. 🦖

I started this blog to share things I learn, document my open-source contributions, and maybe talk about games or whatever else I'm experimenting with. Whether you're a fellow dev or just a curious soul, I hope you stick around.

Until next time!
