I have a very wide skill set in the systems engineering domain (servers, data networking, etc.) plus programming; deepest in the Unix and data networking areas thanks to two decades of experience - diving into OS kernel internals and finer details of protocols on all OSI layers. Exceptional attention to detail, troubleshooting and organizational skills, and vast technical knowledge are what gives me an edge over the rest.My goal is not to master the latest "web two-point-something" technologies or get caught up in fads but to take part in creating long-lasting back-office solutions ideally in a carrier/service provider environment.Currently a jack of all trades due to practical requirements but also very much interested in an organization where it is possible to acquire deep specialization in a narrow field of technology.Current long-term objective: to make 6 figures.Currently preferring remote/hybrid work but also open to relocating in APAC/EMEA to follow exciting new opportunities.
