This is my little corner of the internet
Hi, I'm Ernest.
I'm curious about far too many things — how software works, how languages are built, what makes a good idea, why a trail keeps going. I build things to understand them, and this site is where I collect what that curiosity turns into.
“The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy”

About
Not really one thing.
"There's a lot I don't know, and I want to discover it."
I don't define myself by one profession. I get curious about a lot of different things, often just because I want to understand how they work.
My mother bought me a computer when I was young. I didn't only use it to play games — I took it apart, put it back together, and tried to figure out how the whole thing worked. That habit never really left.
I've always had a lot of ideas in my head, and explaining them to other people isn't always easy — sometimes it comes out a little chaotic. Programming gave me something valuable: a way to turn things that only existed in my imagination into something real, without needing someone else to fully understand the idea first. I can just build it.
Programming is still a big part of how I create things, but it's one part of a bigger habit — I'd rather spend an afternoon figuring out how something works than take it for granted.

Create
Things I make.
A short, curated list rather than everything I've ever touched — what I'm actually building or want to start.
Thinking about working together?
Questions I get asked before a project starts, and a few words from people I've worked with.
Questions I get asked
How do you approach new challenges? +
I tend to become more curious when I run into something I don't know. I like breaking problems down, exploring different approaches and learning whatever I need along the way. Not knowing how to do something doesn't discourage me — it usually gives me another reason to figure it out.
How do you work with other people? +
I enjoy working with people who bring different skills and perspectives. I'm comfortable taking the lead when needed, but I don't need to be the one leading. I like sharing ideas, listening and helping whenever I can. And when someone asks me something I don't know, I'm usually just as interested in finding the answer — sometimes the best way to learn is to figure something out together.
What keeps you learning? +
One of the things I enjoy most about technology is that it never really stands still. There's always something new to understand, a different approach to discover or something I thought I knew that can be improved. The more I learn, the more aware I become of how much there still is to discover — and that's what keeps me curious.
Why do you enjoy learning languages? +
For me, learning a language isn't just about being able to communicate. It's another way of understanding how people think, how cultures express ideas and how differently the same thing can be seen. I also enjoy the process itself — there's always something I don't know yet, and every new thing I learn seems to reveal ten more things to discover.
What kinds of projects interest you most? +
I'm drawn to projects that can have a positive impact on people, whether directly or indirectly. I especially enjoy building applications, tools, bots and plugins that solve practical problems, simplify something unnecessarily complicated or make someone's everyday life a little easier.
What makes something worth building? +
It doesn't have to be a huge idea. If something solves a real problem, saves someone time, makes an experience simpler or teaches me something in the process, that's already a good reason to build it. Some of the things I make start with nothing more than wondering, "Could this be better?"
“As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it”
— Albert Einstein
Learn
What I know, and what I'm getting to.
What I actually use, what I'm currently learning, and what I'd like to get to someday — kept separate on purpose, so a future interest never reads as a current skill.
Languages
No inflated levels — just an honest read of where each one stands.

Life
Everything that isn't a job title.
The things I make time for.
The little one at home
Tora 虎
Tora came into my life after I unexpectedly started caring for the street cats around me. I tried to give one of them a home, but eventually realised that bringing them inside could also mean taking away a freedom they had been born with.
Not long after, I met Tora.
She's not much of a lap cat, but she's almost always somewhere close. She watches me while I study or code, sleeps beside me and follows me around like a dog. She's incredibly curious and observant — she likes to take everything in before deciding when to come closer, which sometimes reminds me a little of myself.
New places don't seem to scare her much either. Wherever we end up, it doesn't take long before she starts exploring.
Travel
Places I have been, places I want to go.
A map of the places I have visited and the ones still on my list. Travelling gives me a different way of seeing places, people and everyday life.
Reading
Books are one of the ways I explore ideas outside software.
They help me see the world from different perspectives, question assumptions and understand people, myself and the human experience a little better.
Writers that stayed with me
Albert Camus
- The Myth of Sisyphus
- The Stranger
Camus changed the way I think about meaning. The Myth of Sisyphus especially stayed with me: the idea that life doesn't need a predetermined purpose for us to keep moving, choosing and creating our own reasons to live it. I find something strangely freeing in that.
Training
Training
Training has taught me to be patient with progress. You can do the work today, but the results take time — a useful reminder that not everything worth having happens immediately.
Hiking
Hiking
I like not knowing exactly what I'll find along the way — following a trail, discovering new places and seeing what nature has ahead.
“Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better”
— Albert Camus
