This is yet another *personal website*, a small aggregator of my presence on the (Inter)Net. I am not very "socially" active in the digital world but you can find out a little
about me on my [Google profile](https://profiles.google.com/akim.dan?rel=author) page and a bit more on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/in/danachim). I also try to [tweet](http://www.twitter.com/dan_akim)
a bit but end up just stalking mostly.

I currently work at [booking.com](http://www.booking.com) as a Linux systems engineer. Before that I used to do the same thing at [Gameloft](http://www.gameloft.com)
and tried my luck in small startups, some of my own. I love what I do, I strongly believe in infrastructure automation and try to preach love and unity between [Dev and Ops](http://devops.com/).
At work and in my spare time I hack around various system tools and [Puppet](http://puppetlabs.com/) modules that I wrote or maintain. Some of these end up on my [Github](https://www.github.com/danakim) account.

I also love music and try to make it the background of everything I do. The advent of (almost) ubiquitous Internet and music streaming services has been a great gift to me and I tend to be active on [Last.fm](http://www.last.fm/user/micuguru).

Currently I live in Bucharest, Romania, back after 3 years in Amsterdam, Netherlands and if you want to get in touch with me you can do it via any of the links above - which are also listed in the upper-right corner - or through my favourite communication medium, to which I will remain forever loyal no matter how many social media networks pop-up, *the e-mail*:

I also try - and fail - to blog a bit about things and problems I find interesting. What follows is a short list of posts I have managed to gather over time.

<ul class="posts">
  {% for post in site.posts %}
    <li><span>{{ post.date | date_to_string }}</span> &raquo; <a href="{{ BASE_PATH }}{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>
