If you’re on Windows 11 and Valorant won’t launch, enabling Secure Boot is almost certainly the fix.

I'm a software developer who is presently mostly focused on backend work, using Go and other typical tools of the trade, at a mid-sized startup in its late stage. My interests include cybersecurity, programming language design, open source software, game modding and music making.

Previously, I used to make software and services for the web, Android, and embedded systems, including UI design and frontend work. I worked with multiple technology stacks, including quite obscure ones, and sometimes dabbled into reverse-engineering too. Under the rule of a diminishing function whose inputs include "free time" and "motivation," I still try to do some of that.

My views don't represent those of my employer, even if, during working hours, they definitely align, as mandated by common decency and the applicable employee handbook. Please, HR and legal: there is no need to look any further.

This is my long archive of random posts dating back to my teenage years, back when I wasn't really qualified to build many of the things I did - and yet I sometimes succeeded.

You may want to look at my (quite outdated) portfolio-like website, or follow me on BlueSky.
