Hi there !
I'm bernard petek an engineer a problem solver a designer a tool maker a biker an explorer a multipotentialite
trying to make tomorrow a little bit better place though designing, developing and giving tools that solves problems and make life easier.
about me
Optimist, multipotentialite and tireless idealist.Sometimes I break something. Sometimes I have bad luck. And sometimes I completlly fuck up. But that’s ok.
Because I believe life is a challenge. I believe luck is just a probability of success multiplied by the number of tries. And I believe learning is the greatest investment we can make. Even if we break something along the way.
I know the best things can be found beyond our comfort zones. And time to time I need to remind myself about that and do something stupid. ... well it always surprises me how often those things become the greatest adventures of my life.
We all have enormous amounts of potential in ourselves. And how we use it is all on us. I strive to use it on meaningful, exciting and fun things. ... just because I can!
I am kind of a jack of all trades. A multipotentialite. Always looking to learn something new. And always happy to share it on.
I love challenges. And a lot of the times the journey itself motivates me more than the final goal. The goals are the milestones on the path. A moment of victory and celebration. But the real value lies in the journey.
Regardless of whether the problem is technical or not my most valuable quality is the ability to think like an engineer. Take a step back. See the whole picture. Identify the problem. And take the best path toward the best solution.
If the science is right, I am an assertive INFJ personality type. And as such I stand out as an idealistic, creative, compassioned, determined and enigmatic person. Valued by my integrity and deeply held principles. But despite being a very idealistic person I am also capable of turning my ideas into plans and executing them.
Questions like “So, what do you do?” or “Hey, what do you like?” always catches me off guard. Probably because there are plenty of things I like doing. And all of them makes me forget to “eat and poop”. But one thing is in common … I love to solve problems!
Definitely my favourite method of solving problems is writing lines of code. Let this be PHP, Java, C# or even SCL for that matter. Actually, that way the light of the day saw quite a number of my beautiful solutions and hacks.
But there is no use for awesome solutions if people can’t use them, right? So there comes in handy my skills of frontend, UI and UX design. Truth be told, for the past few years designing and developing HMI interfaces has been a huge part of my job.
Well, at the end my life work boils down to designing, making and providing tools. Let those tools be digital, physical or in the form of knowledge.
Nature was always a big part of my life. And when I have some spare time it is my favourite choice of spending it. A place to run away from urban life, clear my mind and be adventurous.
If I need just a quick dose of fresh air a calm walk through meadows and forests will do just fine. For something more active and challenging I normally go and conquer some mountain pick with an astonishing view. And when I need to satisfy my adrenaline needs I normally pack my gear and go on some exciting ferrata or rock climbing.
But to fully satisfy my adventures needs toward complete freedom I pack up my bike and ride it where my heart desires. ... usually ending up on some dusty countryside road loving every mile of it.
Oooh, and I can't finish this without even mentioning my joy toward music. When everything else fails, this one makes my day everytime. Well I could not say I am any good at it ... but I love every second of it.
