Peter M Pelica

Software engineer by trade, photographer by obsession, blogger against my better judgement. I build robust web apps with Symfony and unstable home automation contraptions with wires and duct tape. If you're looking for photos of animals, ramblings about coding, or things I broke, you're in the right place.
