Hi! I'm Maruf, a software developer based in Germany and I love the craft of building software!

I work as a Junior Backend Developer at one of the largest ultra-luxury e-commerce companies in the world, where we use AI to improve customer experience and streamline internal workflows. I may never afford the products we sell, but I genuinely enjoy the work and the team I build alongside.

Outside of work, I enjoy tinkering with my homeserver—experimenting with custom tools and, more often than not, breaking things and figuring out how to fix them. I run a functional CI pipeline with Gitea on my homeserver, integrated with a self-hosted Grafana stack. I also maintain a few personal projects there, including AI-powered APIs built for my own needs. I hope to open source some of these tools one day.

I started this blog to share what I learn, since writing helps me really understand things better. If someone finds my notes and experiments helpful along the way, that’s just a nice bonus.
