My website

I created my multilingual website using the Hugo static site generator.

Hugo was chosen because it’s good enough for my needs and it’s a single binary, so there is no need to install dependencies.

I decided to create my own layout instead of using a pre-made theme.

WordPress Websites

I have experience with the WordPress CMS. Here is a list of things I have done using it:

• Created a number of WordPress websites for myself and for my clients.
• Developed custom WordPress plugins and themes.
• Deployed WordPress websites to production using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB.
• Fixed bugs and vulnerabilities in existing websites.

Hetzner Community Tutorials

I have contributed heavily to the Hetzner Community Tutorials project. This project provides an opportunity for people to share their technical tutorials with the Hetzner Community and the rest of the world.

Here are some of my contributions:

• Written a number of technical tutorials and improved many others.
• Used scripts to perform maintenance tasks such as storing images consistently and fixing broken links.
• Created a JSON schema for tutorial front matter that automatically checks whether authors have filled out the front matter according to the requirements.
• Improved the GitHub Actions workflow.
