About

Hello! I’m a bdeshi and this is my place to dump words.

Okay, I’m actu­al­ly a Bangladeshi human (prob­a­bly) 😅. I code in python, run Archlinux, play with appli­ca­tion servers, and spend most of the rest of my time plan­ning big projects and putting them in the backlog.

My inter­est now lies large­ly in back­end devel­op­ment, API inter­gra­tion, sys­tem automa­tion, serv­er man­age­ment, devops etc¹.

I’m try­ing to write tid­bits about code, pro­grams, inter­net, pix­el art, lit­er­a­ture, and oth­er ran­dom stuff.

Why this domain? Why that nickname?

There’s no big secret here. I chose the nick bdeshi a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. It went like this: I’m Bangladeshi → Bangladeshi → BDeshi → bdeshi. Also, the word “bideshi” means for­eign­er in Bangla. As is tra­di­tion­al for pro­fes­sion­al extreme intro­verts, I feel like a stranger even among most of my own people 😅.

This site is my place to post my blog and ran­dom per­os­nal works. Also, I run a bunch of ser­vices for per­son­al use on dif­fer­ent sub­do­mains here. In oth­er words, this is my space, so bdeshi’s space → bdeshi​.space. You see, a lot of care­ful thought went into choos­ing this domain.

Nah, actu­al­ly the .space tld was cheap­est when I way look­ing to get a domain! 😁
