My name is Daniel Florian and I like to play around with technology, especially computers and try to understand slowly - but deeply -, how it actually works and how human knowledge stacks on top of each other.

On this journey I especially enjoyed so far:

  • PC building from components, and all the troubleshooting that comes with it.
  • Getting familiar with Windows to a PowerUser/jr. Admin level, and be the support guy in the family, to ditch the OS after W10 release. Hello Linux.
  • MCU programming Arduino, ESP, hardware design.
  • Networking - this stuck with me since end of high school.
  • Music making, and audio HW for recording and playback.
  • Playing with Android custom ROMs and kernels. (also building)
  • Various interesting, challenging tasks, which widen my knowledge.

What I didn’t enjoy so much, but can do:

  • Web development, JavaScript
  • Repetitive, boring tasks, way out my expertise.

Currently working in telco, doing Python scripting, development, automation, monitoring, security, all what comes at me.

My other profession is music. I play the piano and pipe organ, some notes on guitar and have lead a choir. My repertoire consists mostly of music for the pipe organ from the French Romantic and modern literature.

Main topics of interest:

  • Open-source
  • Hardware, Smartphones, Networking
  • Online Privacy
  • Electronics repair
  • Biking
  • Photography
  • Music
  • Pipe organs
