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, runner, and I secretly hope that someday I'll enjoy swimming. I do enjoy getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things out (hence me living abroad).
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 quite occasionally, 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. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

For some reason, I've set my mind on DT Swiss. Don't ask why 😁. Also, I'm not yet ready for carbon wheels. They're pricey and they do not work well with rim...
- My Recipe To Survive Winter In Berlin
Making it through winter in Berlin is no easy feat. Here's how I do it 😁. Christmas markets 🎄 Wikipedia says there are over 80 Christmas markets in Berlin. Granted, they're not all equally big nor interesting, but I'd say at least 15 of them are big, popular, and worth a visit! Christmas Market at Berlin City Hall My personal favorite ones:...
