I've been into computers since I can remember myself.
Back in my childhood days I was fascinated by the books "I was in the computer city" and "Professor Fortran's Encyclopedia", also by building LEGOs according to my own intricate designs.
However, PCs were still quite rare and I didn't have much actual experience beyond launching video games in the Norton Commander/MS-DOS environment on an i386.
Only way after, when I bought the Nokia N9 as my main smartphone, did I discover the wonderful world of Linux in the form of MeeGo Debian-based operating system, changing then to Arch on all my desktops and laptops.
So I started programming for myself, first in Turbo Pascal, but it wasn't enough for me. I wanted to enter the tech industry to actually work there, so I got into state university for a postgraduate degree on the topic of mathematical support and administration of information systems, all while working as a sysadmin and project lead.
Then I decided to get into QA engineering, since I always liked dissecting stuff and had a keen eye for inconsistencies.
Throughout the years, I worked in various fields of tech industry, including cryptocurrency, computer vision, e-commerce, digital forensics and information security.
I'm also big into game development, namely scripting and level design and have created several rather prominent mods, some of which got YouTube coverage.
I see where others don't and make things that for some are considered impossible, for the most - unspeakable.
