My journey as a developer began in 2013. I joined a programming group and started with LogoWorlds (RU), later transitioning to Turbo Pascal (yes, on MS-DOS!). The highlight for me was building my own game, but my true interest lay in developing an engine, which led to me leaving the project unfinished. I completed my training in the group in 2015 and continued creating personal projects in Pascal and PHP (using DevelStudio) until around 2018.

In 2019, I discovered C#. This was a game-changer — I hadn’t even considered other languages before, which in hindsight was a huge oversight. With C#, I created a utility for flashing the smartphone ZTE Blade V9 Vita: BV9Vita (RU). My enthusiasm for development grew, and I expanded the project into NineVita (RU). And from there, it all started — new projects and new discoveries.

I primarily develop applications for Windows (with occasional experiments on Linux and Web). Here’s a quick summary of the technologies I know and use:

• Languages: C# (5 years), Rust (1 year), Python (2 years; experienced in basics, web parsing, SQLite, Telegram bots with aiogram (version 2, but at the moment I'm writing on version With an eye on the future), web requests), PHP (beginner), C++ (enough to handle basic tasks), the initial Web (vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript), C++ (six months).
• Frameworks & Tools: WinForms, Console, Markdown, Bash, and Batch for scripts.
• Previously Used: Mathcad, MATLAB, Scilab, JPHP (DevelNext), Assembler, PureBasic, Delphi 7, Pascal (Turbo Pascal & PascalABC.NET), and LogoWorlds (RU).

I'm always on the lookout for interesting projects and open to potential collaboration.

At the end of 2022, I decided to fully switch to Linux and start a new chapter in software development. I also created a Telegram channel (RU) to share my thoughts and experiences. I initially settled on Manjaro with KDE. For 2023, I set goals to improve my skills in Python and Rust, along with learning basic web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). While I continued working in C#, it became a rare tool for me. By June 2023, I tried Fedora with GNOME through the Nobara Linux distribution, documenting my experiences on my channel.

In September 2023, I began seriously developing my web skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and even used ChatGPT for quick solutions to repetitive or simple code. As of August 2024, he switched from ChatGPT to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and I'm already writing large sections of code on it, which are not interesting to write manually or are too labor-intensive, and there is no output.

2024 began with me finally setting up Windows 11. While I haven't abandoned Linux, Windows suits my needs for now, especially as I await a stable release of KDE 6. This year also marked my shift from .NET 7 to .NET 8.

Later in 2024, I experimented more with GNOME, adding numerous extensions to make it work well for me. Despite KDE 6's release, I remained with GNOME on Nobara for stability. However, I continued using Windows 11 with various tweaks for a smoother experience.

June 2024: I reached a breaking point with Windows 11's issues and downgraded to Windows 10, where I managed to implement almost all of Windows 11’s features. I set up KDE neon as a secondary system and finally configured WSL2 for a pseudo-native Linux experience on Windows 10.

After some time, I decided to return to Windows 11 – it’s buggy yet compatible. Thanks to a series of personal scripts and third-party tools, my experience is much smoother now. Check out my awesome-windows-tweaks repository for my collection of tweaks. The year is already coming to an end, but thanks to my special tweaks from all over the Russian-speaking Internet (and not only), I feel incredibly comfortable using Windows 11, so I don't need Windows 10 anymore, but still I sometimes run Linux distributions in a virtual machine.

Looking forward to what 2025 and beyond will bring!
