About Me

I am an independent Network and Cloud Engineer with more than 14 years of hands-on experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining secure IT infrastructures for small and medium-sized businesses, developers, and remote clients.

My work focuses on network engineering, cloud infrastructure, server administration, VPN implementation, virtualization, web hosting, and automation. I have strong practical experience with Linux and Windows servers, MikroTik routers, AWS cloud services, VMware, Proxmox, WordPress hosting, firewalls, and network security.

Since 2010, I have helped clients build reliable and secure systems, troubleshoot complex network and server issues, deploy cloud-based environments, configure VPN solutions, and manage hosting infrastructure. I enjoy solving real-world technical problems and turning manual, repetitive workflows into automated and efficient systems.

In addition to traditional infrastructure engineering, I actively work with AI tools, LLMs, automation workflows, and vibe coding to improve productivity, speed up development, and create smarter IT solutions.
