I'm a programmer from Orava. I weighed 155 kilograms, used meth, and for two years I was too ashamed to show my face.

From the Tatras to Elbrus. Mountains are my source of silence and humility.
Running and Cold exposure keep my mind sharp and my body resilient.
Programming since childhood. It's my passion, craft, and lifestyle.
