    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    Hey, my name is Viktor, and I’m a 21-year-old guy who moved from Croatia to Slovenia to study Computer Science.

    Ever since I was little, I’ve loved being creative and innovative.

    Back then, that implied drawing or making my own chairs and shelves using the plethora of tools my dad had.

    I’ve always dreamed of becoming an architect or an interior designer.

    All that kind of shifted towards technology as I was introduced to robotics in primary school.

    During my high school days, I started coding, playing around with Arduino for hours on end, making RC cars, drones, and overall cool little gadgets.

    Some of the projects I have documented on my YouTube channel.

    Ultimately, I decided that CS is the path I want to pursue.

    Granted, some of the material gets really boring at times, but nothing feels better than finishing a project or finally solving a problem you’ve spent hours working on.

    My other hobbies include taking care of my lovely little plants and hi-fi (mostly vinyl and IEMs).

    First of all, I was super lucky to get my current apartment.

    Unfortunately, you can’t see it all that well, but the thing I like the most about my setup is the view.

    It’s a small studio apartment on the 9th floor with a view of the whole city.

    My workspace revolves around my MacBook Pro that sits on an IKEA TROTTEN standing desk.

    Standing while working is always a nice habit to enforce, and with a fairly low price, I can easily transform my setup to accommodate that.

    Ever since my first setup, I always used two additional monitors. However, after purchasing a 4K display, I’ve found that the single monitor, paired with the MacBook’s amazing display, works much better for me.

    As I am one of those people who use small fonts and have everything on one screen, I’ve never felt the need to add another one since then.

    Moving and setting up my current setup in my new place was a thoroughly enjoyable process for me.
