I began my journey to the world of computers back in the late ’90s while I was studying at high school. At that time, my dad occasionally took me to his office, where I could get my hands on ES EVM, a clone of IBM’s System/360.
After finishing my first year in college, I assembled my first PC from used and spare parts. It was an Intel 286 computer with an EGA video card and a display supporting sixteen simultaneous colors (a big deal then!). I spent all summer reading books on Pascal and C programming languages and solving programming challenges.
After earning my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I worked part-time as a computer technician. My first job was in a local system integrator company in Ukraine, where I worked in different roles for more than ten years and gained broad knowledge in system, network, and database administration.
For the last ten years, I have mostly worked with Microsoft technologies and the Azure cloud. I’m focusing on improving security, observability, governance, and automation in cloud and hybrid environments and implementing DevOps and SRE practices in various organizations.

I currently live in Slovakia and can be contacted via the contact page. I’m happy to receive emails with suggestions or corrections for the material.
Note to a reader
There are a few reasons I started this blog. First, I was inspired by Scott Hanselman and John Sonmez about exposing and marketing yourself as a professional and why it is important in today’s world. Second, as a non-native speaker, I wanted to practice my writing in English and improve my communication skills in general. Last but not least, I would like to share my knowledge and experience with my readers.
