About me

This section is still work in progress and not complete!

Hey there, fellow human! 🤖

It’s me, Kārlis! 👋🏻

Now it is time to describe myself and, uhmm, where do we start? 👀

I think nothing shows more passion for the IT technology and software side more than programming, HomeLab-ing and self hosting stuff in my free time and also at my previous jobs 🤷🏻‍♂️ That’s how I have learned and got to know Docker, Git, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, MQTT, NGINX, Linux server (Debian- and Arch- based) administration, databases (like PostgreSQL, etc), SQL, backup systems, S3-compatible storage, DNS servers, DHCP servers and so many more things! By hosting and managing them on my own! 🖥️

Also have had the chance to develop some awesome software frontend and backend apps in Java (Swing, Maven, Eclipse EE), C++ (incl. MPI), Python (PyQt, Pandas), JavaScript, Tcl, Julia and VBA. Even scripting stuff in PowerShell and Bash too. Probably the proudest of them would be developing real time satellite imagery processing and displaying server and clients in Java, which was used on the bench connected to the real flight hardware of Sentinel-5! 🤯 But extending a CFD solver and testing it on a High Performance Computing cluster comes as a close second!

I love good design and typography and even do some calligraphy ✒️ in my spare time too. I hope these interests are well conveyed in the GUIs I have developed and in my personal website/blog (which is a constant work in progress 🙈, but hey, that’s how I tried learning SvelteKit).

I guess that’s it! Thanks for dropping by and leave me a message! 👋🏻

Hobbies

Collecting and taking care of my many houseplants 🪴 is my favourite thing to relax and it is just so rewarding seeing them thrive and develop over the time. Man, nature is just so beautiful 💚
