About Me

I'm a computer hardware and software enthusiast.
Professionally a software developer, in my free time I toy with hardware and write even more software. I used to maintain GPUPerfTests for instance. Sometimes I also play some video games... sometimes.
I also do microprocessor annotations, trying to figure out and (mostly) guess what specific parts of the chip do. And I really like any form of parallel computing and virtualization, no idea why.

As for my tangible skills - yes this partly serves as a quick resume - I can program in C, C++, C#, Java and Python at a fairly good level, I'm also quite competent with webdev and Linux system administration as I've been running my own servers for various things for a long time. Of course from the hobby side of things I also know a thing or two about Verilog, FPGA development and embedded firmware development (ok, that last one I actually used to do professionally too).

Lastly some notable things I did or do that are not related to this site:

• I wrote and maintain one of the monitor testing tools HardwareUnboxed and MonitorsUnboxed use.
• I sometimes help either with testing or by providing technical expertise for various tech sites such as Chips and Cheese.
• Years ago I used to moderate, then administer, and then eventually host the now shut down Minecraft server Redstoner.
