About Me

From a young age, I've been into technology. At twelve, I was already taking things apart just to see how they worked inside.

Over the years, that curiosity grew into a clear vision: technology should be transparent, secure, and yours. In an era of growing vendor lock-in, forced subscriptions, and platform control, I (try to) avoid platforms that take control away from users and keep as much ownership as possible over my own devices, apps, and infrastructure.

In my spare time, I tinker with Linux systems and enjoy helping people around me with their tech questions.
