Welcome to Pavel Safronov's website

My name is Pavel Safronov and I'm a software engineer and I write fiction. This website started out as a personal hub for finding me and for some small projects, though recently I've started transitioning various dependencies here as well. About a week ago I moved my code development from GitLab to this website, complete with a simple UI, git repos, and even CI. Why I left GitLab is a short write-up about the move.

Recently it became so easy for me to add more content and move other parts of my digital life here. So a week after the GitLab move (today, as I write this, November 1, 2026), I moved my writing site from WordPress to a custom approach that publishes my Markdown files directly to this site whenever I want.

As I move away from relying on third-party platforms (GitLab and WordPress, so far), I am writing the tools to do this, and these tools are entirely open source: fuzzyworld-tools. That is the package that powers this site, so aside from the content, everything you see here is built with it.

I also write fiction. Mostly it's just short sci-fi stories, but I am currently (November 1, 2026) working on four different manuscripts that I'm going to try to get published. You can see some of my past highlights and read about my upcoming work.

You can find my code, web-apps, and writing by following the menu at the top of the page, or by going directly to:
