Romain Pellerin
I am a Software Engineer living in Berlin, Germany with a strong interest in front-end development.
Apart from computers, I am an avid cyclist and I love practicing foreign languages (hence me living abroad). Speaking of which, I am fluent in French and English. I used to know some Spanish. I recently picked German up.
I am a huge fan of comic books, The Walking Dead being my all-time favorite. I also read novels, mostly sci-fi. Besides all that, I occasionally play the guitar.
I write blog posts on this very website not only about computer science but also broader topics such as the environment, bikes or travels. There are RSS and Atom feeds that you can subscribe to. I usually write a few times a year. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Running-wise, I'll stick to big cushioned shoes...
- Calf Muscle Tear
So I'm just done with a sprained ankle... but just as it was healing, I'm struck with what I believe is muscle tear. Or muscle strain? I don't know. It could even be something totally different, for all I know. Achilles tendinitis? Unlikely, but the pain is sort of between the calf muscles and the tendon though. But it's not that bad, I can...
- Farewell Kdenlive, Hello DaVinci Resolve. And colors explained.
I've been a long time fan of Kdenlive, but now has come a time for change. Kdenlive is great but it's got limitations. Transitions are pretty basic, for example. Also, 10-Bit and/or HDR is not (fully) supported. Overall, the program is not as polished as a professional-grade one. That's why I decided to change and find a better video editing...
