University of Warsaw

Hi! I'm Daniel and I'm crystallographer by trade and programmer at heart. I like learning various things, particularly languages and cultures. In my free time I enjoy some indie- and euro-games. If you have any questions or issues concerning this website, or would just like to say hi, feel free to contact me!
