About

I've been running Linux systems since university and professionally since 2016. Most of that time has been spent on the parts of infrastructure that nobody notices until they break: databases, backups, DNS, and the network between the two servers that were supposed to be redundant.

Now I consult on a small scale — usually helping a team that has outgrown a single VPS but doesn't need a platform department. I like problems where the answer is a better question: which component is actually slow, what did the logs leave out, what happens on the second failure.

Outside of work: long-distance running, a slowly growing collection of old networking books, and an unreasonable attachment to paper notebooks.

Based in Yekaterinburg, working remotely.
