+**🌱 Welcome to my self-hosted Git platform**
+
+This is my self-hosted git space, a little garden for ideas to grow quietly and meaningfully. Everyone starts with 3 personal repositories to collaborate, experiment, or contribute to the things I’m building. It’s a small gesture, but one I hope encourages connection and creation. Need more? Just ask me via the contact below 😊.
+
+Still prefer GitHub? You can also find me there at [rafiarrafif](https://github.com/rafiarrafif).

+**👤 About Me**
+
+I’m Rafi, the one behind this platform.
+
+By day, I’m a Data Science student at Universitas Sebelas Maret. By choice, I’m a freelancer who enjoys building things slowly but sincerely. I made this space not to be grand, but to be useful for me, for you, for anyone who wants to tinker, share, or grow something together.
+

+
+**🧭 What I Believe**
+
+I believe technology should serve people, not impress them. It should clarify, not complicate. To build is to respond, to listen, and to make something useful out of thought and empathy.

+
+**🛠️ A Project I’m Growing With**
+
+One of my ongoing projects is [Nounoz Zone](https://nounoz.com). It’s an ambitious attempt to build an "otaku center" a unified space for anime communities. I’m working to bring together the essence of platforms like Reddit’s anime channels, Kusonime-style free streaming, data from JikanAPI, and even personalized profiles inspired by MyAnimeList. Rather than jumping between fragmented sites, I want fans to have everything in one place. 
+
+While it’s still under development, the journey has already taught me a great deal from technical challenges like handling scalability with ElysiaJS, to human challenges like making decisions with a team that thinks differently. The codebase is private, but collaboration is always welcome. You can reach out to me via email if you're interested.

+
+**🎯 Long-Term Objective**
+
+To create something that brings value to others even if it’s quiet, even if it’s small. As long as it’s real, and it helps, it’s worth building.
+

+
+**📬 Contact**
+
+If you want to discuss ideas, collaborate, or just share thoughts, I’m always open.
