** Personal information - a bit about myself **

I'm not a typical IT guy, in my personal time I enjoy adrenaline sports such as skiing, biking, automotive sports, motorcycle riding, mountain climbing, I'm outgoing, sociable and I can't say I don't like to party. But on the other side, I also enjoy quiet, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of spending time surrounded by nature either alone or with small group of people.

Besides the mentioned, I'm a DIY kind of guy, that also enjoys working with his hands, from fixing-up (or tuning up) my car, motorcycle, or doing work around the house (up-keeping, building, renovating), to creating new things, some fun like electric skateboard, automated indoor plant watering, to house automation.

I enjoy traveling, and exploring new places, cultures and I have a bit of a thing for interesting technologies in history.

Other than that I love good food and intelligent conversations, or making stupid jokes and having a good time with good company :)
