Hi!
I'm a cat that makes tracks, hence the name. Really, I'm mostly a nerd that likes nerdy things. I make websites like these every few years and I'm usually proud of one or two tricks I came up with when I make them. Sometimes(rarely) my design is even kinda cool. This website is mostly a vehicle for the stuff I come up with.
I am:
- Pretty Gay
- Frontend Dev
- Musician
- Opinionated
If you would like to contact me, you can find me on the Fediverse, specifically on tech.lgbt, which is a lovely community I have grown very fond of. Other than that it might be a little hard to reach me, but luckily I am usually rather attentive on fedi.
I use VS CODIUM, KDE Neon, and I'm a 11TY nerd. Recently I've been professionally involved with both Directus and Strapi.
Feel free to ask how any of this was put together if you are interested at all. So much of programming is also examining the work of other people and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

If you would like to link to me, here is a 88x31 thingy: 
The Past
In 1997, I was given an old book. It was printed on cheap paper. It was worn - really, it had seen better days. And yet, for the first time in my life, a book that was entirely technical in nature, got me hooked. It was given to me by a friend from the university of Hannover. Little did he know that, when he gave me this little guide on HTML and CSS, he would set me on a path for the rest of my life.
While I had done some smaller things in coding before - in things like BASIC and PASCAL - this was a completely different experience; everything was so immediate, so interactive. I would type a few lines and things would appear - and they actually did useful things! For the longest time I was rather lost on what to do with computers, other than maybe gaming. However, this certainly was exciting to me; not only could I do all this, but I could easily share it with the world.
I knew right then that this was what I wanted to do with my life: I wanted to know more, to get better. Back then, the Internet was still thought to be a place for freaks; some businesses were beginning to evaluate what could be possible, but on the whole, there was not much that could be done yet. Perhaps even worse, companies demanded that potential candidates were full-on IT specialists to even consider them for a position.
I decided that I would take the hard route and learn it all by myself. I became self-employed right after I left economics school and pushed myself forward by reading all the books I could afford. I eventually found my first customers. From then on, I grew with every new project.
The Now
Currently, I am no longer self-employed. I work in eCommerce, on projects with millions of lines of code. Roadmap.sh outlines the job of a frontend developer very well. A lot has changed since I read that little book. I am not tired of doing this, not by a long shot. Every new year brings new challenges, new opportunities, but most importantly, we all keep improving. That is what keeps me hooked.

I'm a bit of a music nut and I make some myself, although I usually just do mixes/DJ sets. You can find my music on Hearthis and Soundcloud. There is also the project I do with DJ Yazu Cat[2]Cat. I work on these when I have the time and the energy. So it happens when it happens.
I usually prefer electronic music and usually go for non-vocal stuff, but I am not opposed to good vocals. I like Trance, Techno, House, DNB and all that good stuff. Often, the more synthetic and spaced out something sounds, the more likely I am to enjoy it. But it varies.
If you are actually interested in what sort of stuff I like and listen to, honestly just listen to my mixes, I only mix stuff I actually like.
