Discovering new ideas and challenges, things that surprise me drive me in everyday life.
I started with network+ course at 1998,installed LAN networks,cabaling,hubs and switches. Studied MCSE 2000 and got experience in design and implementation. Move to Linux and that changed my whole carrier path.
started to work as a network engineer in a Linux based application company, during next 10 years I worked on lots of Network/Linux/Integration projects in complex environments,also responsible for administering company's major clients.
The next step was going deep into Database systems,I became IBM Informix database administrator.
My rule is to learn the concept and and try to automate as much as make sense.
recently I develop lots of Ansible, bash and python scripts to automate the operation and monitoring of services.
With everything connected,IOT,IIOT lots of potential vulnerabilities, now a days security is getting more and more complex and interesting . recently picked a CISSP course and preparing myself for the exam.
