Hi, I’m Maxim

I’m 19 years old and I’m currently in college. I’m passionate about programming and I’m looking for small jobs in this field. I have a lot of experience in programming and I’m always looking to learn more & learn about new technologies! I believe that to be a good developer, you always have to learn about new programming languages, practices and rutimes. I’m a very motivated person and I’m always looking to improve myself.

Today, I want to theme my forgejo instance. After leaving GitHub to host my own Forgejo instance, I wanted to customize my Forgejo instance a bit.

Starting a blog!

Hello! I’ve been thinking of starting a blog for the past few years, and I guess I’m doing it today! Here, I will share my adventures. I’m a passionate developer, but I also love doing some DevOps here and there, especially with Docker compose. I’m also interested in everything server-related, especially in building my own home lab one day (but, for budget reasons, is impossible - at least yet!). I’m also a huge linux advocate, from desktops, to servers. I run Fedora Workstation with Gnome on both my laptop (a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 9 14" custom built) and my desktop. -I cannot imagine using W*ndows now- ...
