Summary
I'm a young developer interested in topics like #privacy, #security, #self-hosting and #open-source. I don't think much of myself in terms of technical skill as I know many people that to me are gurus, geniuses and experts. Precisely for this reason, I am very interested in learning new things and getting to meet more of them. My inmediate goal is to try things and build up a portfolio of projects, so I can improve and make a base from which I can grow. That some day I will look back on my infrastructure and feel that I am in the top of the game.
Formally I am a "Graduate in Computer Engineering", and soon will have a masters in "Privacy and Cibersecurity". However, I feel that formal education is just the base to build good practices and have generalistinc knowledge. I think that I have learned the most by starting to self-host and trying things out. That's why I want to try new projects as much as I can. Btw, here you can find my Original Character!

To do
I have a bunch of ideas and projects in mind. I'll get to them eventually. Or not.
- Prisma Library Manager (in progress)
- Translate aichan.moe to Euskera and Español
-
Populate the Projects page -
Populate the Contact section. - Populate the Recommendations page (continuous task)
- Finally migrate to the fediverse (in progress)
- Improve image_gallery
- Enable library management from the web
- Compress the previews
- Enable theming
- Gallery with old images from Vitoria-Gasteiz and Euskadi. With a timeline. Maybe with a map. Descriptions of the images with basic info such as: date, credits, location.
- Add images to the PC specs and improve the info with a table-like format
