INFJ. Software engineer at Cosylab, working on space and astronomy projects. Living in Slovenia🇸🇮, Europe🇪🇺. GNU/Linux, free software, open source enthusiast, KDE contributor, pirate party member. Astronomy is my hobby. Lover of scotch whisky, tea and good food. Like to travel a lot and read books (especially about philosophy, psychology, science and economy). Can’t live without music (mostly classical, reggeaton, reggae, dancehall, rap, hiphop). I’m a hopeless romantic with a naughty mind.

Finished my first week working for #Cosylab where our department is working on #astronomy and #space projects for #ESA (European Space Agency) and #ESO (European Southern #Observatory). We're using my favourite tools like C++, Qt and #Linux. Can't get much closer to perfection, or as the Japanese would say, #ikigai 😀 In particular, I'll be working on the control software for 39-metre #ELT - Extremely Large #Telescope planned to be finished in 2025, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-10fipc27w

There’s a portal to the center of the earth in the wreckage of an abandoned project site in Murmansk, Russia. What’s it for? And why is the internet Googling “Kola Superdeep Borehole screams?”
