Whoever ends up writing my biography (if anyone ever does), I promise not to bore you with every tiny detail of my life or certificates from kindergarten.

Like many students who finish university and struggle to find work, I went through an existential crisis. I graduated in architecture but couldn’t find a job in the field. One of my friends suggested I try something with Linux — and that advice changed everything.

I started learning on my own, mostly through YouTube, doing basic tasks and experimenting. It didn’t take long to realize this was something that truly intrigued me. I could spend hours just trying to understand how a specific service works.

Once I felt confident that this path was for me, I went deeper. I enrolled in a few courses and started reading books about Linux, the Bash shell, and containers. Today, I manage a couple of my own VPS servers, practice real-world scenarios, and apply techniques used in production environments.

I’m especially passionate about the modular nature of the Linux kernel, and I plan to keep learning and growing in this space.
