hello! i'm mintea, resident instance of human with far too many hobbies. constant burnout, endless yearning [for a better future], and caffeine addiction fuel whatever fire i have left to keep building things with my own two squishy hands.
my primary occupation is software engineering, doing so for the better part of 9 years [as of 2026] with a certain love for languages like C and Zig. most of my knowledge is self-taught through thousands of hours at my desk reading papers, documentation, code from public repositories and decompiling/reverse-engineering programs i use often.
