I'm raf, most commonly known as NotAShelf on the internet. I am a professional sailor and sailmaker, intermediate DevSecOps and SysAdmin in training. Fulltime procrastinator.
I am an International Relations major, currentling pursuing a PhD in the field of Political Science. My freetime mostly goes towards working on occasional open source projects and DevSecOps activities. Ever since I have been introduced to the world of Linux in late 2018, I have been very passionate about writing my own software and System Administration. Home-made CLI applications are my favorites, I like writing my own software over using others'.
I consider myself well-versed in full-stack technologies, my focus is generally on backend applications using Go.
- 📅 Programming since 2018
- ⛵ Working as a Sailmaker
- 🏫 Part-time IR/POLS instructor, forever student
- 🖥️ NixOS / Hyprland / Neovim
- 👨 Despite its shortcomings, Go is my go-to language (pun fully intended)
- 🌐 Frontend via React/NextJS used to be my primary stack. Now I focus more on backend applications and System Administration.
- ❄️a NixOS remains my favorite Linux distro for both personal and enterprise use. I manage my own fleet of servers and virtual machines powered by it.
