I’m Kristijan Šimić, a seasoned software engineer with extensive experience in C/C++, Objective-C, and Swift. My passion lies in the Apple ecosystem, where I’ve developed a deep understanding of its software and operating system stack. Currently based in Berlin, Germany, I have the privilege of working with the brilliant minds at Microsoft, crafting everything from kernel extensions and build systems to cutting-edge security solutions and delightful frontend experiences.

Since my memory isn’t exactly a steel trap, this website serves as my personal treasure chest of thoughts and discoveries. Here’s what you might stumble upon: Musings about the things that make life interesting. Lessons learned and quirky challenges from my daily coding adventures. Updates on the tiny projects I tinker with. Occasional gems from around the web that are too good to keep to myself.

When I’m not coding or attempting to string together coherent sentences in English, I’m out exploring the world with my wife Edita and my tiny boss, Juna. Being a dad has definitely added a whole new level of "debugging" to my life. 😂

You can find me on Twitter, Mastodon, Instagram, and GitHub.
