hey.
you found this place—by accident or on purpose. either way, welcome! this is my little corner of the internet. i’ll use it to document side projects and how i build them: what broke, what worked, and why.
about me
i’m alex. born in 2002 (you can do the math on how old i am). i like hands-on, practical things more than theory. in my free time i write code—everything from small automations to bigger tools i think are useful.
i also wrench on my own motorcycles, cars, and other mechanical toys. modding them is my happy place: making something non-conventional and exactly the way i want it. my sense of what “looks right” has evolved over the years—subjective, sure—but i tend to see projects through until they’re almost perfect before moving on.
this site
the first project i’m documenting is… this website. fun fact: i barely know frontend. and yet, here we are :D
the source is on github. the code isn’t pristine, but it’s not a disaster either. borrow ideas or copy it 1:1—i don’t mind. a bsod-style homepage isn’t the most original concept, but it fits me.
work
i work as an infrastructure security administrator at ESET. i started as a junior right after my bachelor’s, moved to secAdmin I six months later, and i’m aiming for the next step. most of my day is network security—on-prem and cloud. i work with AWS and Azure (leaning AWS; their private DNS just feels more intuitive :D).
closing
nobody’s whole story fits in a single post—and that’s fine. this isn’t a memoir; it’s a place to build in public.
a weird blog hidden in the depths of the abyss. what blog?
