About Me

I'm an IT enthusiast with a foundation in Linux operating systems. I have spent the majority of my career focused on system engineering, but recently I have been broadening my technical knowledge by diving into Python programming.

My goal is continuous learning and mastery of new technologies to enhance my current skills and develop myself even further.

Beyond the core responsibilities I dedicate my time to independent side projects and continuous education. Outside of IT I do Taekwondo which is a Korean martial art. I am also a bike lover.
