Who I Am

  • Software developer, heavily interested in performance and optimization and systems engineering.
  • I also specialize in Linux and other operating systems.

About CRNX.net

  • This is my personal site and I use it to write about technology topics, from programming and system engineering topics, to also different useful tech tools.
  • Nonetheless, this site isn’t only about tech, but also about my main interests:
    • Plants, gardening and hydroponics – you’ll find several articles about indoor gardening, hydroponics, nutrients maximization, small spaces gardening, etc.
    • Cartography, digital mapping, geography, GIS – you’ll also find a lot of articles regarding cartography, map data integration, deep mapping and other concepts related to Geographic Information Systems.
    • As well as all my other hobbies and interests.
  • In CRNX you’ll also find information about my different projects, from climate controlled preservation rooms to categorization systems and advanced hydroponics.
