About Me

Working in IT infrastructure since 2008 — still active in the field. Starting from a telecom carrier background, then through a global virtualization vendor and a cloud service provider (network & Linux server engineer on cloud infrastructure), I now work as an ISP engineer in day-to-day operations and maintenance. In that role, I actively apply generative AI — log analysis, automated runbooks, script generation — to real operations.

In addition, I deliver corporate IT training as a lead instructor (Linux fundamentals) at multiple organizations.

Async-first, remote-friendly — available for spot consulting through to ongoing advisory arrangements.
