Hobbies

Being a film buff, I prefer to have all my favorite films on physical media. I have a vast collection of DVDs, Blu-rays and even LaserDiscs (yes!), over 2,000 titles. And yeah, it takes a lot of space in my home, but it's totally worth it.

I'm also a big fan of mechanical keyboards, with IBM Model M keyboard being my absolute favorite.

Besides hoarding movies on discs and keyboards, in my spare time I learn programming languages, just for the fun of it. So far I've learned PHP (fluent in it), JavaScript, Python, C (of course!), Swift, and some obscure oldies like Object Pascal, awk and Objective-C (I'm truly and deeply in love with latter). I wrote a bunch of command-line tools that I use in my every day practice.
