I love teaching and instructing people. Nothing delights me more than to see a person grasp a new thing after I have explained something clearly and patiently.

As a person I am honest and frank. I like to approach each person as an individual, and I usually get along well with old and young people alike.

Languages

I am an experienced programmer in a multitude of programming languages and a few microcontroller platforms, such as AVR, PIC, 6502, and Z80, and I have twenty years of experience of using relational databases such as MySQL in commercial products. I also enjoy reading source code, and take pride in being good at that.

Here is a concise list of keywords that define technologies that I work with regularly: C++, C, PHP, git, gcc, bash, BASIC, nasm, ffmpeg, clang, GNU, Linux, Debian, xterm, ca65, microcontroller, hex editor, x86, 6502, asm

Generally, I steer towards the lower-level programming concepts such as engines, converters and algorithms rather than high-level concepts such as user interface.

• A system for RS485-linked embedded measurement devices communicating over a single time-constrained LoRa link, with automatic endpoint negotiation.
• Two multilanguage web dictionary suites for different companies, developed at W3 Group Finland. Highly related with database, network and character set issues.
• A database browser with a textmode windowing UI for DOS. (Licensed by Osarsoft Consulting Oy)
• Online Japanese-English dictionary application with many kanji-related tools. (own project): https://iki.fi/bisqwit/japtools/
• Several unlicensed legacy video game “fan-translation” projects, which have involved 1000—30000 lines of text per game, and adding tons of custom assembler code doing things such as name conjugation and custom cutscenes. See more at: https://iki.fi/bisqwit/gametrans.html
• An multilanguage online members directory software. Developed at W3 Group Finland. Has been used by several large organizations in Finland, including 4H and Rotary.
• Founder of the online community TASVideos (http://tasvideos.org/), a wiki/forums/directory web-site specializing in tool-assisted speedruns of video games. I hand-coded and maintained the site from 2003 through 2009. It is currently the world’s largest source of tool-assisted speedruns, universally recognized in the speedrun community.
• YouTube channel “Bisqwit”. I create and publish programming and technology videos on my free time. Topics include 3D engine design, embedded system/video game console emulators, technology studies etc.

• Computer programming since 1992.
• Israeli folk dance since 2009 (teaching since 2013; currently I coach two weekly classes)
• YouTube content creator. As of 1/2020, my programming-oriented channel has over 100 thousand subscribers.
• Old console games (Nintendo etc.): soundtracks, translating, and hacking
• The game of Go, https://bisqwit.iki.fi/jutut/go2.html
• Languages and cultures: Japanese, Hebrew.

I devote much of my free time to developing and exploring software and software technologies. I am a hobbyist Linux hacker, as well as a Nao robot developer.

I’m a free software enthusiasist (as per Free Software Foundation definition of “free”).
