About me


Engineer, Tech-Nerd, Home hardware enthusiast, science slammer and science communicator, -

Now isn't it just logic to create a format where people learn and understand complicated technical stuff in a funny and hopefully a bit entertaining matter?


Seriously, I grew up with a dad that was the best all-around craftsman ever. He literally build our house. He could build walls, installed water, heating, electricity systems, wood work, everything.

Plus he had three Master degrees in electrical engineering, TV / Radio Technology plus heat and climate machines.


My cousin -a professional educated plumber- once literally said: "Uncle Alwis , I do this job now for more than 20 years, but such a sophisticated plumbing/heating system I have never seen before"


Decades before heat pumps were used as an environment friendly way of heating , we had a heat exchanger in the chimney, different ways of heating to choose from and sensors all over the place. Our home was a smart home before the term existed - more than 30 years ago.


Since I was a kid I loved to watch and learn how he could solve problems and was fascinated by his knowledge and solution finding abilities - decades before Google and Wikipedia he was my human google and Wikipedia. And he could explain charming and fun - make technical complicated things easy and exiting to understand.


I just try to follow his path and step into giant footsteps - dedicated to you Alwis!
