I am an IT professional with nearly 20 years of experience. For the last 10 years, I have worked in management roles, leading DevOps Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, and System Administration teams. My main area of expertise is Unix-like and Unix-based operating systems, especially Linux. I have also been developing software for various architectures for many years. I started my professional career as a software developer in 2008.
My journey started as a hobby in 1999. Since then, I have worked on software projects using C/C++, Pascal/Delphi, PHP, Perl, Python, and Go. In the early days, I developed Windows desktop applications for a while. Later, I moved to backend development on Linux, where I felt more at home. Over the years, I also worked with Unix and BSD-based operating systems. Eventually, my career moved toward system administration and DevOps Engineering. I have had the opportunity to work with many different technologies and architectures, from high-load, zero-downtime on-premises systems to Dockerized environments, large Kubernetes clusters, cloud platforms like AWS and GCP, multi-region CI/CD pipelines, and on-demand test environments. Throughout my career, I have never stopped being a software developer. I have always considered software development and operations as parts of the same process, looking at IT systems as a whole from end to end. I have also tried to bring this approach to the teams I managed.
I am an active open-source developer. I believe that companies should share reusable code with the open-source community as long as it does not contain business logic. I have contributed to open-source projects using C/C++, Perl, and Go. You can find my GitHub profile through this website.
In recent years, I have become interested in mobile application development as a personal hobby and have developed several mobile apps. After getting into mobile development, I also decided to return to desktop development. I have built some desktop applications recently as well.
I was also interested in amateur radio for a while. My call sign was TA2OD during my active years between 2009 and 2012. At that time, we developed a project at our amateur radio club to transmit Internet data over radio waves. We wrote the software from scratch, modified the hardware, and experimented with new modulation methods. As a result, we achieved much faster Internet data transmission using the same bandwidth. I no longer have an active radio station.
I use this website to stay in touch with old and new friends, share my blog posts, and talk about my projects.
