About me ๐จ๐ปโ๐ป
Hi and nice to meet you! ๐๐ป
I’m Ionuศ - here’s how you pronounce that - and this is my Internet homebase.
I’m a software engineer with ~10 years of hands-on experience which I discuss in detail on my resume page.
For the past 4 years, I’ve been living in the lovely Cluj-Napoca ๐ Prior to moving here, I lived in Bucharest for several years.
When I’m not coding, I’m either running the local trails ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ reading interesting books ๐ or just worrying about not having time to edit the thounsands of photos ๐ธ I’ve taken during some recent trip.
A lot is happening and so I try to keep a list of things I’m focusing right now over here.
Contact ๐ฒ
If you want to get in touch with me, your best chance to reach me is via e-mail โ๏ธ which I check consistently.
I’m open to work related collaborations if my schedule allows it and I have a good track record of delivering mission critical projects.
If you just want to share a cool idea or chat about any of my other hobbies, you reach out on any of my social media accounts listed on the homepage most of which are are @johnofardeal ๐ฒ
About this site ๐ชด
As mentioned above, this site is my Internet home base and my personal digital garden. I’ve stumbled across the concept of digital gardening by accident via Joel Hooks’ website some years ago and I instantly became a fan of the idea.
I’ve long wanted a place of my own where I could aggregate most of my online existence and I’m glad I finally got around to implementing it. Altough the version you’re looking at is complete on its own, there still are some features I’m looking forward to adding. At the top of my list is a personal canon inspired by Brendan Schlagel’s own and a learning journal similar to daywreckers.com.
The Internet has played a significant role in shaping who I am as a person. I’ve been online when blogs were still cool, social media was in its infancy and the web as a whole was entering its golden age. While most of this things might not be true anymore, I hope I’ll be able to recapture some of that long gone magic ๐ฎ in this tiny corner of the www ๐ If not for everybody, at least for myself.
