Who am I?
My name is Jarosław Wierzbicki and I'm the person in the photo.
The photo was taken on the Elephant Mountain in Taipei City where I currently live... not on the mountain but in the city. 😉
I am and have been a software engineer professionally for a little more than 10 years now. My language of choice is C, but I've also worked or am still working with C++, Java, Groovy, Python and JavaScript.
My professional career so far has mostly been with embedded systems oscillating somewhere between user space and kernel programming. In my less professional environment, I enjoy involving myself with web design and totally outside of work, I go to the gym to keep myself fit, I'm trying to learn Chinese (with arguable effect) and I do enjoy a good book and film.
Why did I create this blog?
Maybe it's going to sound tacky, but to give back to the community. For all of those years I've been building my knowledge (well I very much still am) with help from so many great people and sources and I have decided that it's time to start sharing too. So this is my attempt to do so.
