Short BIO

After graduating from primary school, I followed my parents' advice to a geodetic high school. At the same time, I was interested in computers. Therefore, after graduating from high school, I started studying computer science. There, a passion for computer networks and operating systems developed that continues to this day. So currently I work as a sysadmin with a slowly developing interest in cybersecurity. After so many years of work, I should be a manager, but somehow I still prefer the console, code or logs view more than Excel cells.

And that might be the end of the story, but no. At the age of 34, I started my studies at the medical faculty and at the age of 37 I graduated and started working in my spare time as a paramedic. And I haven't mentioned yet that since 2003 I have been a lifeguard as well, and I try to change my workplace to a beach full of people at least once a year.

All of the above allows us to draw some obvious conclusions. I am a bloody curious person. When something starts to bore me, I find myself new things to explore. After all, we only have one life, so I don't see any reason to waste it on doing just one thing / job.

IT Short

Yes, I wasn't born in a world surrounded by computers and cell phones, so I don't think I would surprise anyone that I only used a computer from the age of 10. This has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages is that I participated in the creation of the IT world known today. On the other hand, Poland is not the United States, where much of the technological revolution began. I use computers mainly for work and entertainment and that's a big part of my life. I use operating systems from the GNU / Linux family (Slackware, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Red Hat) and BSD (FreeBSD). I've worked as an administrator for most of my career. Now I pay attention to my interests in cybersecurity.

Lifesaving Short

It is the second part of who I am now. Probably in a few years I will be in lifeguard retirement, but the knowledge and experience will remain. Then I will take care of the training of the new staff. As I wrote above, in my free time (and there are not too many of them) I work as a lifeguard (mainly at the seaside) and paramedic.
