Hello! `nemunaire` here, aka Pierre-Olivier; I am an engineer (and passionate about [how things work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia)), a teacher (and a pioneer of [gamification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification) in my classes), a cook (and an advocate of [limiting the ecological footprint in our eating habits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism)) and I also fight against the hold of [GAFAM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAFAM) on our time. Besides, I generally adhere to [stoicism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism). I love typography, challenges, chocolate (or vanilla?? the choice is too hard) and so many other things!

With my rich creativity, I'm always working on a lot of amazing projects.
I spend most of my free time to improve system support, document and **promote ARM-based computer** (and now RISC-V), whether embedded, server or desktop.

You won't find me on any social network, because I don't have time to sell my privacy for free (and I fight against most of them).

{{<icon "fa fa-heart about-icon">}}
I'm crazy about any knowledge (mainly focus on sciences, typography, society, companies, faune and flora, ...) and am looking for more freedom and independence.

{{<icon "fa fa-drum about-icon">}}
On my spare time, I also [play drums](https://storage.nemunai.re/scores/_list.html) and [cook](https://food.p0m.fr/).
