Hello, I’m Mark. Currently in my masters of computer science at ETH Zurich. I like to code a lot. You’ll never see me without tons of projects on the side. I have too many projects I wanna do, but not enough time to work on them all. Friends usually ask “What projects are you working on?” instead of “How’s studying going?” This blog is my little log for talking about these projects.

My pool of goto-languages consists of Python, C, Golang, and Typescript. If I have to get something done quickly, those are the languages I use. On the other hand though, I'm a huge fan of discovering new cool languages and libraries that are a bit under the radar like Zig, Nix, or htmx.

My mentality is, that if I need something that doesn't exist, I have enough experience to create it myself. This ranges from creating my own scripts for things I find annoying on websites to creating applications I can host on my home server.

On my home server I went for a slightly overkill Kubernetes server running via ArgoCD. It allows me to keep all my deployments neatly organized. Similar to my laptop NixOS install.

This blog is also one of my projects to create a lightweight website using htmx. It can be viewed in the relevant repo visible here.
