I fell in love with technology the day I held a remote for the first time – I was no longer the “go-to-child” to change the channel on the TV. From that day on, technology, gadgets and gizmos became a sort of silent prophets of a more fascinating and rich future.

Even though my first PC was a Pentium II with a 1 GB HDD and RAM of, well, basically nothing by today’s standards, I discovered the joy of playing with technology. Games, applications, all of them where fascinating to me and terrifyingly complicated to understand, but curiosity prevailed.

To be fair, the realm of IT still feels daunting to me but fear not, I still have some tricks in my sleeve and working at Softpedia is the ideal environment to enhance my knowledge.
I love games (of course I love games), right now the biggest time wasters being Dota 2, Portal 2 and Middle Earth – Shadow of Mordor, but I do find the time to be more productive with my life, the general stuff: reading books, going out with friends or designing new logos (it’s a thing).

Fun facts: at the age of 8 I still believed that “the Internet” had to be charged – the more you let it charge the faster it gets (for an 8 year-old that was rocket-science type logic). At the age of 18 I got lost in my own neighbourhood, at night, I had to call my parents, no additional details are necessary, I presume.
