From a very young age, I’ve been drawn to understanding how things work. Being around seven, poking around our family computer and breaking it more than I’d like to admit—in the name of discovery, of course—I felt like a hacker man. My parents… not so much.
But that curiosity has stuck with me ever since. When I wrote my first tic-tac-toe game, I didn’t care much for playing it. But creating the game? That was where the challenge, and the excitement, lay for me. The next game? Snake, of course. Still the same feeling—to this day, playing for me is dull.
My passion for computing led me to study at the University of Žilina, where I avidly pursued every opportunity to develop as a person and a professional. I found my first internship, landing me a full-stack job at PosAm, where I spent over three years. Thanks to this job, I’ve learned what building software in the real world truly looks like.
Beyond Code
Computing, software, and programming are one kind of creative work. However, I also like exploring other forms to express my creativity—I’ve been playing guitar since high school, learning new songs and using music as a way to bridge the past and present. I’ve also set a long-term goal for myself: learn how to draw. While I still have quite a way to go to seize the technique, for now, I’m having a lot of fun with sketching.
For me, writing doesn’t stop with code: I started my daily journal when I was still living in Slovakia and I haven’t stopped since. Over time, it became a ritual for me, a quiet moment to reflect on the day and to close it off in my mind. In that way, it is similar to my guitar playing—a more structured memory of my past.
That love for structure and introspection is what brought me to use Obsidian. I use it for everything—notes for work, study, and personal growth. Naturally, I started creating plugins for it, and sharing them with the community has been deeply rewarding.
