01About me

I studied electrical engineering in high school and then computer engineering at university. I am interested in networks and IT systems: how they are built, how data moves through them and how to keep them secure. I like to test what I study, so I set up small labs at home to practise. When I face a problem I take the time to understand it before I try to fix it.

03Skills

Learned at university and, for the most part, through my own practice.

Networking

Cisco Packet Tracer, switching, routing and VLAN configuration, traffic analysis with Wireshark

Scripting

Python for network automation, Bash

Systems

Linux (Ubuntu), Windows

Cloud, security

Cloud fundamentals, cybersecurity as my main area of interest

04Hands-on practice

• Built network topologies in Cisco Packet Tracer with switching, routing and VLANs
• Used Wireshark to read network traffic and find connection problems
• Wrote Python and Bash scripts to automate repetitive network and system tasks
• Installed and managed Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows systems

06How I work

• I like to understand why something happens, not only how to fix it.
• I listen before I speak. When I say something it is clear and to the point, and I am good at writing things down.
• I can work on my own for long stretches and I also like working in a team.
• I adapt fast to new places, tools and people.
• I learn what a job needs on my own, without being told.

07Interests

Electronics and hardware, logic puzzles, books about science and technology, gaming.
