# Hi there, I'm Rares 👋
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Full Stack Developer | Self-Hosting Enthusiast | Infrastructure Automation Advocate
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Welcome to my self-hosted Gitea instance! I'm passionate about building robust, scalable applications while maintaining complete control over my development infrastructure.

## 🚀 About Me
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm a Full Stack Developer with a deep passion for self-hosting and infrastructure automation. I believe in owning your code, your tools, and your data. When I'm not building web applications, you'll find me optimizing Docker containers, automating deployments, or fine-tuning my home lab infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently focused on building efficient CI/CD pipelines, creating reusable infrastructure components, and exploring the intersection of modern web development and self-hosted services.

## 💭 Philosophy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> "If you're not self-hosting, you're just renting someone else's computer."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I believe in:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Ownership** - Your code, your infrastructure, your data
|
||||||
|
- **Transparency** - Open source tools and documented processes
|
||||||
|
- **Automation** - If you do it twice, automate it
|
||||||
|
- **Learning** - Every deployment is an opportunity to improve
|
||||||
|
- **Sharing** - Knowledge grows when shared with the community
|
||||||
