I've been working in Informational and Computing Center of Kyiv National University of Taras Shevchenko as a member of the Support group, which was maintaining the connection to the Internet in local dormitories for students.

Before I've got that job, I've had some basic training, where I aquired basic skills in working with CentOS, such as working with file systems, packet managers and basic administrating tools; Nginx, where I needed to create a file server with directory listing; Ansible, where I needed to automate the whole proccess with Nginx. I've also managed to create a custom distribution of Linux using Linux From Scratch.

While I was working as a Support, I've aquired some skills in working with people, where I helped them to get access to the Internet on the user end; and network equipment, where I was replacing broken parts and reflashing switches. Additionally to that, I took part in creating a training room for future network administrators, where they would be able to check their skills in setting up network equipment, such as enterprise switches and routers.

Outside of work, I've had a little home project, where I basically just set up a SMB file server and shared a printer.
My expectations are: maintaining existing server and network infrastructure, setting up new services, automating the whole process.

I'm really not fond of programming and creating new services from scratch.
