PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

I am a multidisciplinary technical specialist with over 20 years of experience (spanning from Mandrake Linux 8.0 in 2001 to modern Cloud technologies). My strength lies in "deep-tech" problem solving: I possess a holistic understanding of systems, ranging from the physical layer (electronics repair) through the OS kernel (network security) to User Experience (UI/UX).

As an advocate of the "Do It Yourself" culture, I thrive on complex challenges: I maintain my own Linux distribution with automated CI/CD pipelines and integrate local AI solutions into creative workflows. I am seeking an environment where systems thinking, security-conscious operations, and the drive to create are valued.
