About

My name is Szymon Szędzioł, formerly known as Shendio. I’m a Computer Engineering student based in Poland, currently focused on low-level programming (currently learning Zig). In recent years I switched to Linux and instantly fell in love with it. In my free time I like to game, ride a bike and read up news about tech.
