Greetings. I'm Mateusz, a Polish programmer currently living in France. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting open-source software. My work focuses on retrocomputing systems - primarily the 8086 architecture and DOS - once foundational to early human digital civilization.
Why spend time on obsolete platforms? I'm glad you asked. These systems, limited in memory and processing power, demand precision, creativity, and respect for every byte. Exploring them is both a technical challenge and a tribute to the engineers and programmers of the past who achieved remarkable feats with minimal resources. It's a humbling reminder of how much can be done with so little - and how elegant simplicity can be.
This page showcases a collection of projects I've built over the years. Most are released under free/libre open-source licenses. I also have a few odds and ends tucked away in the archive section, preserved for historical continuity. Nothing too exciting, but you're welcome to explore.
Feel free to get in touch if you spot a bug, have a suggestion, or just want to share a word of appreciation.

Below is my virtual archive, a quiet corner where I’ve tucked away projects from the past. These are works I no longer pursue or showcase, but they still hold stories, ideas, and curiosities that may intrigue a wandering mind.
Want more?
If you've got a strong stomach for cringe-worthy code and questionable design, my 2008 website awaits.
