About Me

++++CS REQUESTS++++
I don't respond to copy-paste or impersonal messages. I get tons of them and just ignore them.
Take your time to read my profile, and if you think we would sync, leave me a message. :)
I don't have much time to host anymore, so let's make it special for both of us!

++++CURRENT MISSION++++
Since 2014, so before it became 'uncool', I am on a crusade against misinformation and want contribute what I can to have more critical thinking and scientifically literate citizen in this world.

Doings so by developing open-source software that allows people to search their digital knowledge, share it with their network and build on top of the web-research done by others.

++++PHILOSOPHY++++

Go with the flow! Be one with your feelings, thoughts and desires. Say what you need and communicate clearly.
What you express is what you get back. That has always been that way and will always be.
