  <h1 class="">Hi, my name is Alex!</h1>
  <p>
    I am a software engineer, Linux enthusiast and a friend of lightweight,
    resilient systems.
  </p>
  <p>
    My journey in the tech world has been a dynamic one. I've immersed myself in
    countless projects spanning various video games and, for the past few years,
    have been maintaining a small homelab, which ignited a passion for
    automating infrastructure. I am a privacy enthusiast and advocate for
    non-invasive software. Occasionally, I channel my creativity into building
    sleek web applications that prioritize efficiency and usability over visual
    clutter, and adhere to web standards and best practices.
  </p>
  <p>
    Currently, I am available for hire as a freelance Software Engineer,
    advising clients in optimizing and creating Web Applications. With a strong
    background in various programming languages and frameworks, I specialize in
    developing scalable and efficient web solutions tailored to meet the unique
    needs of each client.
