Hi, my name is **Adora (or Laura) Kalb** and I (literally) do things on the internet.

## About me
![Portrait of Adora](/images/portrait.webp)
I'm a network engineer, with a pretty mixed technical background. I started my career in software
development, and then moved on to be a sysadmin with main emphasis on linux environments. 
Afterwards, I was a mix of network engineer and site reliability engineer. I switched to managing
the network infrastructure at a big datacenter provider, where I was supporting the automation of
our infrastructure there. Currently I'm working in network security, and i'm doing a lot of Golang
software development =).

You can find a list of projects that I've already worked on [in my Portfolio](/portfolio), and you
can find [ways to contact me below](#contact).


## Some nice stuff
A list of **tools**, **projects** and **fun stuff** that I already 
have worked on or that I want to work on in the future: [A list of awesome stuff curated by me!](/interesting-stuff)

I also host public services:
- a publicy available Stratum 2 NTP Server: `ntp1.adora.codes`

## Books
I always loved to read as many books as I can. So here I'm listing the books I've read since I
started this webpage, including a rating and short description. These are the last few books 
I've rated:

Coming soon
