Ever since childhood I had a particular interest in problem solving and mechanisms. As a child I would break every single thing into tiny bits just to see what is hiding inside, only to spend another couple of hours to figure out how to rebuild everything.
I was fascinated by puzzles and how all the pieces fit together perfectly, I was drawn to mathematics and chess games. Everything that would, perhaps, challenge my mind was ideal.
For a period of time I wanted to become a pilot, only to discover that what actually captivated me was the entire mechanical circuit that allowed the plane to fly in the first place.
Then I discovered IT and my mind was puzzled again, just like it used to happen when I was a child. Endless possibilities and countless new thinks to learn.
After 4 years of experience in this field, I learned how to manage physical or cloud infrastructures with complex networks, servers, computers and software solutions and deliver the best integrations between them.
I have experienced support for all categories of people and how I can deliver the best solutions according to their needs.
All this time, I did not give up on learning and continuous accumulation of information. I have used and continue to use the INTERNET for IT courses such as Cloud by AWS, GCP, Azure, MSCSA, CCNA by Ciso, Linux or various best practices to be able to offer professional solutions to my team, company and end customer.
