--- title: "About" category: "pages" date: 2000-01-08T13:58:33+01:00 draft: false tags: [] --- ### About me I am a self-thought software engineer at [Zendesk](https://zendesk.com). Even though I started my professional programming career relatively late in life, I have always been passionate about computers. I love the process of creating software. Even though I consider caring about the product a requisite, the technical side is what strongly drives me. I take great pride in what and how I do things. I have extensive experience working with Ruby on Rails and relative databases. I am expanding my knowledge around service-oriented architecture, no-SQL databases, and other languages. But then again, who isn't? I am also... - ... a father and a husband - ... driven by passion - ... GNU/Linux user - ... not utilitarian - ... terrible at action games - ... even worse at board games - ... an adventure gamer - ... an ex PHP-er - ... hitting 40 - ... an NeoVIM user (but learning Emacs!) - ... an anime enthusiast ### Contact I don't use social media except for YouTube. Therefore, you won't find me on Twitter, TikTok, nor Mastodon. The best way to contact me is via email: [contact@michal.sapka.me](mailto:contact@michal.sapka.me).
