                <p class="about-subtitle">Passionate developer specializing in Minecraft plugins and Discord bots</p>
                <p>Welcome to Devanturas! I'm a dedicated software developer with a focus on creating high-quality Minecraft plugins and Discord applications. Since 2017, I've been developing Minecraft plugins, with my first public release in 2020. Alongside plugin development, I've been working on <a href="https://multus.devanturas.net/" target="_blank" style="color: #00d4ff;">Multus</a>, a sophisticated Discord bot that has been in active development since 2020 and is actively used on the Ludi et Historia Discord server.</p>
