About me

A photo of myself (from karamanev.me)

Hello! I am Bojidar Marinov, a.k.a. "bojidar-bg", and I am a human being.

I have been programming for over 15 years (starting as early as 7 with the lovely Logo programming language!), participating in competitions, contributing to open source software, and consulting for companies and cooperatives.
I currently have a small programming course for kids as a side gig.

I also enjoy writing as a hobby and am close to finishing my practice novel in addition to working on this website.

I am a Christian (and a Calvinist, if that wasn't enough (; ), was homeschooled, and come from the beautiful country of Bulgaria.

I love all things open source, and I strongly hope that the future we build will not depend on intellectual property to feed artists.
Along with that, I am a libertarian and free market enthusiast, though not quite a full anarcho-capitalist yet.

I tend to be a bit of a purist and seek to discover fundamental principles in everything, though I try to balance that with acknowledging that the world is fractally complex and can never be understood fully (just like the God it reflects).
I consider math to be an amazing tool for reigning complexity in, yet believe that a bit of kindness can go way further than any math can.
In conversations, I aim to give an unique take on any topic, after listening to all sides.

Occasionally, I play the piano (and have dabbled in composing music) and I love to do paper crafts.

And finally, if there is something you must know about me, it is that I love apples (the fruit)!
