+## Intro
+
 This blog has been standing for two years and has never gone down.
 If I were a Site Reliability Engineer, this would definitely be one of those metrics I'd brag about to my colleagues. Maintaining 100% uptime on my site... well, it's not that hard considering the site runs on an S3 bucket!
 
 A lot happened this year.
 
 In this post, I’ll review the goals I set for 2024 and publicly commit to my objectives for 2025.

 ### Special Mention: I Joined SUSE
 
 In November 2024, I left SIGHUP. It was a great company, but in March 2024, it was announced that the company had been acquired by Reevo, an Italian cloud provider. The acquisition was scheduled to be completed by January 2025.
 
 Meanwhile, things started to change within the company. New tools, new objectives, and a wave of resignations shaped the months that followed. Within six months of the acquisition announcement, SIGHUP was no longer the SIGHUP I knew, it had become a branch of a much larger organization.
 
-When I realized the direction SIGHUP was heading, I began responding to the LinkedIn recruiters who had been reaching out. I had a few conversations with Italian recruiters and even went through some technical interviews with Italian companies but ultimately declined their offers. I think it's safe to say I’m officially out of the Italian job market.

+All kudos to SIGHUP and the amazing colleagues I found there, it was a fantastic company! 🚀

 I was also tired of working for small companies. While it was exciting to thrive in chaos and constantly chase emergencies, I now want something different.

 ## Conclusions
 
-"2024 was a year of immense growth, both personally and professionally. From transitioning to a global role at SUSE, achieving the prestigious Kubesonaut certification, and deepening my Kubernetes expertise, to expanding my participation in tech events, it’s been a fulfilling journey. While there were a few missed goals, like consistent blogging and fitness targets, the year was marked by significant achievements and exciting new directions.

While there were a few missed goals, like consistent blogging and fitness targets, the year was marked by significant achievements and exciting new directions.
 
 Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited to build on this momentum. Improving my English fluency, refining my technical fundamentals, completing SUSE certifications, and continuing my engagement with the tech community are at the top of my list.
