+++ title = "About" description = "About Me" showDate = false showPagination = false slug = "about" +++ Hello! I'm Elara Musayelyan, also sometimes known as Elara6331 or Heisenbug online. I'm very passionate about programming. I really enjoy contributing to the community by creating and contributing to free and open-source projects. My favorite topics include cryptography, automation, networking, and the Linux operating system. I maintain a server cluster consisting mostly of various ARM single-board computers that I use to self-host various online services. I use [Nomad](https://nomadproject.io), [Consul](https://consul.io), and [Traefik](https://traefik.io/traefik/) to fully automate that process. You can see my projects and contributions on my [Gitea instance](https://gitea.elara.ws/Elara6331), or my [Github profile](https://github.com/Elara6331).
