Welcome
About Me
I'm a DevOps enthusiast, full-stack web developer, and a Java lover. Currently, I'm diving into Go and Rust, because who doesn't want to be fluent in multiple languages (especially ones with cool mascots)? When I'm not automating with Docker and Kubernetes, I'm contributing to open-source projects because improving the world, one commit at a time, is my jam.
When I'm not coding, I'm probably listening to music—because every great coder needs a killer playlist. I also run Arch Linux, which is like a box of chocolates. Every third day, it breaks, and I get to play the role of a professional system troubleshooter. Let's just say, I'm no stranger to spending hours fixing things that weren't broken in the first place.
So, whether I'm refining a microservice, debugging a Rust app, or just waiting for my Arch to break down again, I'm always learning and building. Life's too short to stop improving, and I'm here for it—one bug fix at a time.
