About Me

Hey there! I'm a 21-year-old developer who gets way too excited about Linux, DevOps magic, system admin wizardry, and everything open source.

When I'm not neck-deep in Neovim configs or homelabbing the night away, I'm either building blazingly fast backend systems or self-hosting things just because I can.

Oh, and I run a 100k+ EDM community on Instagram called @plusxhub where I share my love for electronic music with the world. Because why not, right?
