👋 Hi, I'm Chris (ChrispyBacon-dev)

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

I’m a tech enthusiast from Switzerland with 20+ years of experience building and breaking things. My passion for automation, self-hosting, and security drives my open-source work. I thrive on learning, curiosity, and solving complex problems.
