About Me

Technology has been a driving force in my life, shaping my interests and driving my desire to learn more about it. I have always been captivated by the ever-evolving world of technology and have made it a priority to stay informed and up-to-date with the latest advancements. This curiosity has led me to explore various domains within technology, constantly seeking new topics and ideas to delve into.
In addition to my passion for technology, I have a keen interest in photography and videography. I find immense joy in capturing moments and telling stories through visual mediums. It allows me to express my creativity and bring images to life, whether it's capturing breathtaking landscapes, candid portraits, or documenting important events.
When I'm not immersed in the digital realm, I often find solace in the pages of a good book. I believe that reading is an essential part of personal growth and development. It enables me to broaden my horizons, gain new perspectives, and deepen my understanding of various subjects. In particular, I enjoy delving into books that explore technology, science, and entrepreneurship, as they fuel my curiosity and provide valuable insights into these fields.
Balancing my passion for technology and personal pursuits, I also value physical activities and spending time with friends. Engaging in activities like swimming or cycling not only helps me maintain a healthy lifestyle but also provides a refreshing break from the digital world. It's a chance to connect with nature, recharge, and bond with those close to me, creating lasting memories and fostering meaningful relationships.
With the recent circumstances that have confined us to our homes, I have embraced a new hobby that has become a significant part of my life: self-hosting. Exploring the possibilities of setting up and managing various applications and services on my Raspberry Pi-based mini Home Server using Docker has been an exciting and rewarding experience. It has allowed me to delve deeper into the world of server administration, gain hands-on experience with different software, and enhance my technical skills. This hobby has not only kept me engaged but has also opened doors to new opportunities and expanded my knowledge in the realm of server management and deployment.
