 title: "About me"

-Test
+Hi all! I am Davide Polonio, a programmer and devOps engineer. I am born in 1994
+and started messing with computers since I was 8 (my first OS was the only and
+glorious Windows 95), and from there I continued my path to learn about
+computers and how to ~~break~~ tweak them. I graduated at university of Padova
+with a master degree in computer science in 2018.
+
+I prefer back-end stuff (I usually end up using Java, Golang, Rust and Bash to
+gluing stuff around), especially automating releases with Continuous Integration
+and Continuous Delivery. I create and manage pipelines for Jenkins (and I
+currently administer Jenkins as well), but I also know other CI systems like
+Github Actions, Travis CI, Drone CI (or the now clone Woodpecker). I enjoy
+container technologies, starting from Docker, Podman and going on to
+orchestrators like Docker Swarm, Kubernetes and Nomad (which I would like to
+learn more of the lasts two). If I can, I use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools
+like Terraform and Packer to create and maintain infrastructure on cloud
+providers, like AWS or Scaleway (I also maintain [Podman plugin for
+Packer](https://github.com/Polpetta/packer-plugin-podman)). Automation is
+usually my preferred way, since it helps developers focus only on the business
+product instead of messing with tasks that can be done by a machine. Finally, I
+am interested in development processes like (but not only) Agile, Scrum,
+Waterfall. I think the right way to develop a product starts from how you
+organize your workflow and what processes you put in place in order to keep the
+_development machine_ going.
+
+I am an open source enthusiast, so when I am able in my free time (or paid time
+if it is an open source business project) I like to contribute to open source
+projects and discover new ones. I believe in the added values that open source
+software (and especially free software) can give respect to closed ones. My
+dream job would be to contribute to one of the many open source I like full
+time! 🤩
+
+I'm not only into programming though! I like to practice sport. In particular, I
+am a black belt Judo and I teach it at the local dojo were I live. I know how to
+ski from when I was I child, and if possible I enjoy passing some time in the
+middle of mountains to admire the beauty of nature in winter. Finally, I like to
+play tabletops games and I enjoy things like table football, billiards, bowling
+(although I suck at the last one 😅).
+
+If you are interested in getting in touch with me (or to get my resume) you can
+send me an e-mail (I prefer this way) at
+[davide@poldebra.me](mailto:davide+bitdispenser@poldebra.me) or you can contact
+me through my [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidepolonio/) profile.
+
+## Why this website and this blog
+
+As I have already written at the beginning of [my first blog post]({{< ref
+"/hello-world.md" >}}) I liked the idea of a place where I can share my thoughts
+regarding technologies, personal experiences and what not. This blog is open
+source, and all my content is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The repository can be
+found either on [my personal Gitea
+instance](https://git.poldebra.me/polpetta/bitdispenser.dev) or on [Github
+(mirrored)](https://github.com/Polpetta/bitdispenser.dev).
