I’m a software engineer by trade and a running enthusiast by passion. For over two decades, coding has been my craft—a mix of logic, creativity, and problem-solving that still excites me today.
Running, on the other hand, started as a hobby in 2014 and quickly evolved into a lifestyle. Over the years, I’ve logged thousands of kilometers, fueled by my love for movement and my analytical obsession with data. For me, running isn’t just about the miles; it’s about the intersection of human potential and the tools that help us unlock it.
Tech & Gadgets: A Lifelong Experiment
I’ve always been drawn to technology that bridges the gap between performance and practicality. Whether it’s wearables, apps, or platforms, I test, tweak, and tinker to understand how tools shape our habits—and vice versa. Over the years, I’ve cycled through Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Apple, and others, not because I’m chasing “the best,” but because I’m fascinated by how design and functionality influence consistency.
My philosophy? Tech should empower, not overwhelm. I gravitate toward devices and apps that blend seamless usability with actionable insights, even if that means sacrificing a few bells and whistles.
Why I Write
This blog is my space to explore that balance: the joy of running, the thrill of tech experimentation, and the occasional irony of being a minimalist who loves gadgets. If you’re here for polished reviews or rigid advice, you might leave disappointed. But if you’re curious about the messy, human side of fitness tech—the wins, the fails, and the lessons in between—welcome.
P.S. Yes, I still geek out over new gear. But these days, I’m just as likely to leave the watch at home and run for the sheer joy of it. Naaah… just kidding. 😉
