About Me

I am an experienced IT professional with a diverse background in user support, infrastructure setup, and deployment. Throughout my career, I have built server labs, managed mission-critical systems, and ensured seamless IT service delivery. My expertise extends to understanding network stacks and media technology, which I share through my successful YouTube channel focused on tech and servers.

In addition to my technical skills, I have worked in the game industry, where I contributed to various projects and consulted within the sector. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance user experiences and uphold privacy standards. As a speaker, I frequently address topics related to privacy, technology use, and innovation.
