From curiosity to expertise - here's how it all began
"How do websites work?" → HTML, CSS, and countless nights of wondering why my div won't center.
First "Hello World" website. Breaking things, fixing them, and learning that "it works on my machine" isn't a valid bug report.
JavaScript, Python, databases. First real projects that people actually used (and somehow didn't break).
Discord bots, volunteer moderating, open source contributions. Learned that debugging is like being a detective in a crime movie where you're also the murderer.
Internships, client work, professional development. Learned that "production is just another testing environment" (sometimes).
AGVolution (AI integration), Greenmark (scalable systems). Every bug became a puzzle to solve, and every solved puzzle revealed three new bugs.
Setting up my 2-node Proxmox cluster opened up a whole new world of infrastructure, networking, and self-hosting. Now I run my own digital ecosystem.
My homelab isn't just a hobby - it's my playground for testing new technologies, hosting my applications, and understanding infrastructure at a deeper level. From Docker containers to reverse proxies, every service taught me something new.
