About me

Hi All,

Currently, I work as a cloud administrator at Shield.

I enjoy learning new things, especially through self-study and online courses, which help me stay up to date with the latest technologies.
In my personal time, I enjoy mountain biking, sports, and motorcycles, activities that help me stay active and energized.
