My name is Taner and I have been using the name tanerius for a very long time (over 20 years now). The format was inspired by a video game called Golden Axe. Ever since I've been trying to get "tanerius" on every platform i can :)

Anyways, I am software developer from Macedonia. I'm a balkan at heart and spirit. I have been living in Germany since 2020, which is the second thing in my life that I am most proud of. The first are my two kids Erin and Jan. I consider myself a very lucky and a happy person. I really enjoy what i do professionally. As a result, I sometimes also go to the toilet with a laptop. Although most call that being a workaholic, i consider it as a part of being happy with who you are and what you do.

Privately, I like working on my projects most of which I put on github. Leme know what you think!

Coming from a super mixed family, and being a bit of a language buff, besides the usual fun during free time, I am really invested in learning German and I love it. Working on my B2 at the moment. Hopefully the next time I update this page I will be thinking to myself... pfff what a noob! :)

I humble at how lucky I am to be where I am. I awe at the odds that it takes, for one to just be!

Earth is not flat;
vaccines improve our lifespan;
if you can't test it yourself and have it peer reviewed don't trust it and definitely don't believe in it;
Finally, question literally everything; Curiosity is what enables you to have such an amazing brain and not be eaten by other animals !
If you disagree with any of this, you are an idiot - but i would still defend your right to be one!
