Being a Linux user for more than a decade, I've changed that passion to a profession. With an insatiable appetite to learn and readily support new technologies, I'm seeking for new challenges on daily basis. Challenges that make me a better professional. On the road to perfection, my scope of interests stays wide, including Unix and Linux operating systems, all aspects of networking, including IT security, down to programming.
