Hobbies
Gaming
I enjoy playing and making games. If you’re into Dota 2, Fantasy titles, Helldivers 2, Valorant, or even single-player adventures, we can geek out any time. I do some indie game development using Unity and also some pixel art. I’ve built several projects in the past, and I’m currently finishing a small indie game called Red Hat Heroes for iOS and Android that I plan to release later this year or early Q1 next year, this one’s definitely seeing daylight.
The game features controllable heavy machinery and puzzle-based levels all done in pixel art by me. No AI :) . Try my recent Android Builds here with 25 levels and let me know if you have some cools ideas that I can add.
Red Hat Heroes - Work in Progress
Travelling
I own a 2012 Pajero SFX - my trusted companion for solo road trips. I brought him down from UP, got him re-registered in my hometown, and made a few personal upgrades and modifications along the way. Since then, he’s been my go-anywhere machine, tackling off-road trails, long hauls, and everything in between. He’s aging gracefully now, so I take it a bit easier on him.
My Home Lab
For hands-on practice, tool testing and everything in between, The custom PC on the left is my “sandbox pc”. It runs all my labs and experimental setups. The specs aren’t too flashy, but they’re perfect for what I throw at it. It runs Proxmox with 4 VMs which are more than enough for a test environment. This is where I try everything.
Cozy Home Stay
I am always looking for new hobbies and ventures. I invested some money I had on an old house my parents own. What was once a rundown house is now a cozy, inviting home that we proudly share with travellers from around the world. Our little homestay is on AirBnB and Booking.com which we rent out and sometimes host friends and family.
I meet new people all the time through this venture, often foreigners from around the world. I handle all the calls, finances, reservations and people management and cleaning if I get time in the evening after work. On the days I’m tied up, my parents step in to help prepare the space for new arrivals and exits.
