Background
About me

I'm an IT professional with a BSc in Computer Science, passionate about building systems that just work. My expertise spans helpdesk support, networking, server infrastructure, and hands-on hardware โ€” from diagnosing a failing drive to architecting a full homelab environment.

Beyond work, I'm deeply into technology culture. I love video games, movies, and music โ€” they're not just hobbies, they shape how I think about user experience and design. Whether I'm troubleshooting a network issue or setting up a new self-hosted service, I bring the same curiosity and attention to detail.

I'm always building, always learning โ€” running a production homelab that covers everything from virtualization and containers to firewall management and remote access tunnels.
