Introduction
My professional journey began when I started working as a Service Desk employee, where I handled a wide range of workplace IT tasks. Shortly after, I delved into the realm of System Management, specializing in servers and other backend systems.
It was during this time that I developed a strong affinity for Linux, which eventually led me to a consultancy role primarily focused on Linux and Open Source tools.
I also gained experience with various Windows environments and even managed one at a certain point. However, my passion for Linux was unwavering, and I soon found myself seeking a position as a Linux Engineer.
As a Linux Engineer, I continued to refine my skills and eventually became a Linux Specialist, combining my expertise with DevOps practices.
Today, I still find immense satisfaction in working with Linux platforms and tools in various forms, including physical, virtual, and containerized environments
