Strapping a Raspberry Pi Zero to my wrist, I built the "PiSpot Watch"—a chunky, lovable smartwatch that briefly challenged the Apple Watch, at least in spirit. From learning FreeCAD and 3D-printing cases, to battling hardware quirks and automating deployments with Ansible—this was my IoT odyssey.
From chanting “U-S-B!” over a new PCI card to cracking Hotmail logins, pixel-soaked mischief shaped my childhood: mIRC raids, Habbo scams, bed-breaking Cossacks marathons and fried GPUs. Dive into the reckless curiosity that forged a lifelong love of tech.
As an intern in 2015, I automated provisioning and streamlined CPE deployments, combining DHCP66, TR-069, R, Python, and Selenium. Turns out Bill Gates was right—the best "lazy" engineers put extra effort into smart solutions upfront, saving countless hours down the line.
In summer 2015, I stumbled upon TR-069 technology, unaware it would define my career. Today, GenieACS—an open-source ACS managing CPE devices—is central to my journey. I've contributed Docker-based solutions and simplified deployment with Docker Compose and Kubernetes.
