Hello all! Let me introduce myself..

I just joined here, and I could tell a few things about myself. So we can get to know each other. If you only read this first chapter, here's a TL;DR: I'm a developer / graphic designer who enjoys constantly learning new stuff. I've been coding mobile, desktop, and web applications during my career. As a graphic designer, I'm specialized in brand identities and logos. You can find my exact skills and frameworks from my profile later because I haven't filled them out yet when writing this. To name a few favorite ones, for desktop and mobile development, I prefer Qt. For web development, ReactJS and NodeJS are my favorites.

More...

If you read this far, you are likely to get to know what else I do besides programming and graphic design. I spend a lot of time on my computer, but less than I used to, so I think I have got some more healthy habits. What I do besides coding in my free time is 3D graphics with Blender, play Civilization 6 with my friends, or Photoshop things like grungy photo composition art (this might need explaining a bit, but that's for another post). I also love to make demos for the demoscene. Usually, I've done them with Three.js, but the next one is probably going to use Vulkan.

Basic stuff beyond the monitor

When I'm not sitting beside the computer, I'm probably doing one of these things:
Sleeping (one of my favorites), cooking (that's also a thing I like a lot, not a master chef but slowly learning), or trying to do some exercise. In the last one, I'm not very good, and laziness is my middle name. If there happens to be some extra time in the day besides the things already mentioned, there are a whole plethora of things you can catch me doing.

Advanced stuff beyond the monitor

First, and the most important thing to mention is Legos. I love Legos. I have half of a room filled with them. I build and collect whole sets and also build imaginary stuff or something from a real-life model or photo. If I still have some free time after building with Legos, I love to play board games or assemble medium size puzzles (something between 1000 and 5000 pieces). Also, I enjoy doing some different kinds of handicrafts (sewing, jewelry making, knitting), play an electric piano, or plan some new interior decoration. There's probably more stuff, but I tend to do hobbies periodically, and sometimes I forget something for a whole year or more and might restart later.
That was basically me in a nutshell. I hope I get to know you folks, too!
