About Me

Student and Universitary Tutor at the University of Bucharest. I'm really passionate about computer science and especially focused on it's building blocks, from circuits, CPU's, assembly, kernels, to the more theoretical parts like Automata theory or Lambda Calculus.

Currently thinking about branch prediction, not going to elaborate.

I teach a tutoriate at the University of Bucharest on Computer System Architecture, based heavily and in support of Prof. Univ. Dr. Rusu's course (ASC) in Romanian. Come meet me in Room 213, every friday between 18:00 and 20:00 at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science (Politehnica Bussines Tower). You don't have to be a student or know the answers beforehand.

I also love hanging out with friends, vama veche, gossiping in random cafes, meeting new people, adventures, spontaneity and making memories. My hobbies include skydiving, piloting aircraft (not yet), aviation in general, theater, cooking, reading, civic activism, and gardening (intentional oxford comma). Email me about it and I can probably provide a video of me violently falling out of an An-2.

I invite you, the reader, to take a break or limit usage of LLMs and otherwise generative transformers like chatGPT, for many reasons. Mainly ecological ones. Also, stop calling such systems AI, they are neither intelligent nor artificial.

Please use my PGP key when communicating with me as often as possible!

Typst is to LaTeX what Rust is to C. Use the latter if you have something serious to do, but the former is such a breath of fresh air in terms of error readability, code cleanliness, simplicity and library compatibility. Do NOT start using typst if you plan a career in academia, you will never be able to look at LaTeX with the same eyes, and good luck having journals accept anything else (for good reason).

I love BCU (the Uni library). Recently they phased out physical cards for an annoying proprietary smartphone app that barely works. So I made this card generator that gives you a physical card design with a BCU-standard compliant scannable barcode. It runs in your browser and doesn't use any non-free javascript. Join me in re-normalising physical cards, as they offer more freedom to the user than proprietary software apps!

I really recommend making your linux look like Win7.

To that, I add this complimentary Frutiger Aero Wallpaper I shot near the Polytechnica campus.
