ABOUT ME

I am a cybersecurity specialist, cat owner and hiking enthusiast, with a strong interest in science and nerd stuff. And transportation.

In case I am not wandering around, I spend my free time leading KSZK Alumni improving the servers I manage, taking photos or building something with my friends in Minecraft.
