About me
I have been a computer nerd since middle school and worked as a System Administrator during university to apply my knowledge in practice and gain more hands-on diverse experience.
Later on, I made a lateral movement within the industry and upskilled myself to fit into a DevOps role and stay in touch with the market. My primary motivation was to build up scalable distributed systems inside big tech companies in the country and manage huge networks.
Additionally, one of my hobbies correlates with the industry and lies in the scientific research of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi.
