Hi, I'm Mariusz (melastmohican). I'm a Software Engineer based in Bellevue, Washington. By day, I build highly scalable backend microservices, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems (Java/Spring/AWS). By night, I'm a passionate hardware hobbyist. I tinker heavily with Embedded Systems, pushing cheap clone boards to their limits using modern Embedded Rust (STM32, ESP32). Fighting memory coherency, undocumented datasheets, and writing bare-metal drivers is my idea of fun. When I'm not staring at code, I'm an avid photographer with a massive portfolio covering everything from the Getty Center to the Alaskan wilderness. I sell my work through stock sites like Shutterstock. GitHub: https://github.com/melastmohican Photography: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/melastmohican
