GitArena - https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena

GitArena is a GitHub/Gitea/GitLab clone written in Async Rust using Tokio and Actix-Web on the backend and server-rendered HTML with htmx for interactivity.

I commented on the "Who wants to be hired?" thread of this month with this being my main portfolio show-off project. It worked and I have gotten already 2 job offers now.

Hello! I'm Mari. I'm a self-taught software developer and have spent the past 10 years programming in my free time, mostly working on my own projects and contributing to open-source. I am currently working in retail and looking for a job as a software engineer in order to turn my passion into a living and getting a foothold in the industry.

My latest and greatest project I've recently been building is GitArena (https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena), a software development platform similiar to the likes of GitHub, GitLab and Gitea. It features built-in vcs on top of Git and issue tracking, mostly focused on being able to be self hosted. It is written in Async Rust using Actix-Web running on the Tokio async runtime and PostgreSQL as persistent database. On the frontend it uses server rendered HTML with interactivity built in Vanilla JS and htmx. It also uses Semantic UI for CSS styling.

Thanks to my existing experience in retail, I'm very good at analyzing customer needs and can thus work efficiently on building and shipping customer-orientated solutions. I'm looking to take advantage of this in my future career.

Feel free to get in touch to learn more about me and my previous experiences.
