When the engineering brain finally shuts up 💻✨

Nobody tells you adult coloring isn't instantly relaxing. 🎨

First five minutes, still thinking about work. Still context-switching. Still mentally fixing something that can already wait until other day. 💻

Somewhere around the third layer though, it just... stops. ✨

No logic required. No right answer. Just the next shape, the next color, the next section.

This is what that quiet looks like. 🌀

Didn't design it - just colored it. Took longer than I'd like to admit. 🙈

[29F] Embedded Software Engineer | Remote life, late nights, and looking for someone who gets both the code and the chaos ☕

Hi! I'm a 29-year-old Senior Embedded Software Engineer who's been working remotely for 5 years — so yes, I know the difference between a productive home office and a "let me just check one thing at 1am" spiral. (Spoiler: it's always the second one.)

A few things about me beyond the job title:

- 🍵 Tea > coffee. (For me 😄)

- 🌧️ The kind of person who *runs toward* rain, not away from it

- 🏋️ Workout enthusiast, workout keeps me sane between debugging sessions

- 🚗 Road trips, beaches, and spontaneous drives with no plan? Yes please.

- 🌙 Chronically a night owl. My best thinking (and worst decisions) happen after midnight.

What I'm looking for?

Someone around my age (28–34ish) who's in the tech space - cloud, software, or even embedded. Not a dealbreaker if you're not, but there's something about someone who instinctively understands why I'm excited about a clean firmware build at 11pm.

I'd love to start simple - swap LinkedIns, talk about what we're working on, what we're into, and see if there's a vibe.

If you read this and thought *"okay this one seems interesting"* — drop me a hi.

Tell me: tea or coffee? 👀
