What started as a hobby - become a profession.

I started my journey with a PC back in 2001. It started with Windows, and I used it mostly for entertainment and fun. Within time, I learned the Internet and Firewall systems that could secure me and my PC files from malicious attacks within time. My first IT job started 4 years later. It was a small company, and my job was to support the clients and help them with the internet connection, software installation, etc. Then I grow to the network administrator(FreeBSD servers) for a small ISP company with 200 users. After this, another ISP. Bigger.
Then it was a bigger ISP with 500+ network units and with the Cat6500. Later I was involved in the Email world and help a big ESP with the MTAs setup and infrastructure support.
After all this, I started my way as DevOps. I learned to work with the AWS manual mode. After Terraform helped me automate all my manual manipulation with AWS. Learned Docker. After a little bit Kubernetes. Recently I started learning Ansible and python.

Currently, I am a DevOps and looking forward to expanding my knowledge.
