Who am I?

Who am I & What this Blog is about.

Hello to all reading this. This is my first blog post. On this blog, I will post tutorials, tips & tricks, and anything I think will be useful for beginners, intermediate programmers, or anyone who has the time to check out my posts. I will post once a week for now, but may increase the number of posts if I see you guys enjoying what I write. This is kinda new for me, so I am looking forward to writing about all the things that seem fun and interest me and hopefully you too.

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Mihai and I am a CS student at a university in Bucharest, Romania. I started programming in the 9th grade and found it really fun and entertaining. In general, I really enjoy automating stuff, that’s why you will probably see that I will post a lot of automation tutorials. Nevertheless, I also like making games, so you might see some posts about gaming and the game development process I go through when designing and building a game. I like playing games too, but I’ll try to keep this blog professional and focused on programming, tech, and IT topics.

Also, I will share here my projects and will also talk about how I prepare for interviews and what projects are to come in the future. The projects I will post are the same as the ones that I will have on my resume and CV when applying to jobs. I’ll share some tips & tricks about interviewing and my experiences during interviews. Who knows, maybe some of you will find something helpful here and there.

-As I stated-, this is my first blog so I don’t have much experience with writing, well… writing in general, except documenting my projects :) .

But hey, that’s part of the process, right? I’m still figuring things out as I go, and I’m sure I’ll get better at writing with time—just like with coding or anything else. If you have any ideas, questions, or just want to chat, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m really looking forward to sharing what I know, learning new things, and maybe helping some of you along the way. Thanks for stopping by and reading my first post!

In case you are wondering:

The university I study at

I am currently a CS student at the National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, which is one of the best universities in Romania. I study in the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering, specializing in System Engineering. I enjoy making my life easier by creating scripts to automate basic tasks, such as checking emails and sorting them into important and junk folders using keywords I set. In the future, I hope to work as a Machine Learning Engineer and build something innovative.

My Motivation

Why did I start this blog?

I started this blog for two reasons: to journal my progress and stay informed about the topics I love, and to share with you what I discover and find interesting or funny. The other reason was because I want to further develop my programming and writing skills while helping people who are just getting started or haven’t yet had the courage to dip their toes into the magical world of programming and tech. I can’t call myself a guru in tech, but I am willing to learn to build a strong foundation that I can build upon.

My Interests

First things first: what languages do I enjoy working with the most? As a 9th grader, I started with C++ where I learned the basic stuff, like basic algorithms, data structures and algorithm logic. Then I started looking into Python and found it pretty easy to use and straightforward, unlike C++. In parallel I also learned HTML, CSS, Javascript and React. Now at university, I mostly use C for coursework, C# for game development, Python for machine learning and language models, and the web development stack I mentioned earlier.
Outside of programming, I like reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy books. I also love playing RPGs and MMOs.

Community and Collaboration

I have most of my repos on Github public, so if any of you reading this feels like they want to contribute to one of my projects feel free to do so. I appreciate any help or contribution given.
