About me

I want to do the things properly. I believe that inspiration and motivation of others is more about what you do than what you talk about.

My IT career started in 2006 when I developed Linux distribution for visually impaired people. I stayed with Linux (RHEL, SLES, open distributions) and another “big Unixes” (Solaris, AIX) till now. I have wide experience with programming (Perl, Python, C/C++, BASH, PL/SQL, … ) and designing (UML, ERD, … ) too. I have also wide experience with networking (CISCO as well as the open standards). I led the server division at webhosting start up for almost a year.

Moreover I’m a lecturer of experiental pedagogy since 2008 and also I’m a founder of the NGO focused on experiential learning and integration of adults with disabilities.
