About me

From I was about 12 years old I gained an interest in scripting and making prank malware in Microslop batch scripts. Following the at-the-time tutorials suggestion C/C++ to be a prime language for this I turned to systems programming as a hobby. Later I turned to writing small toy-games which never turned out to be more than small barely functional arcade games, now lost to time.

It was not until university that my vision broadened and I got newfound interests in high performance programming (parallel programming in particular) along with computational geometry and programming language theory. It was also where I got my introduction to Linux, vim, and git, which has been my daily tools ever since.

From my first student jobs I got my toes dipped into the profession of continuous delivery and continuous integration, containerization and automation, which formed the baseline of what I do today.

My second student job introduced me to how C++ was written in an enterprise environment and I learned more of the horrors the language can and cannot do, depending on which standard, compiler toolchain, or day of the year you have. This only made C more appealing to me.

About this site

The site is build using zola and hosted somewhere in the cloud. The theme is based on my fork of the jekyll console theme, with some minor tweaks to make the theme more markdown-like. The theme has later been modified further, and adapted to changes in my preferences.

This site used to be hosted as a static site on github pages following this tutorial. I wasn't aware that you could use Zola to generate github pages at the time though, but moving the site was somewhat a natural consequence of the fact that I wanted to host my personal email on the same domain.

Checkout hello world if you're more curious about the current setup.
