Affiliations
For me, being a Network Engineer isn’t just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy on a personal level. I’ve always been curious about how systems connect and communicate, and that curiosity naturally grew into a career. Even when I look back to the beginning of my journey in this field, everything came to me in a natural and enjoyable way. From the moment I started studying and exploring networking, it felt like the right path. That’s why, even after nearly 10 years in the industry, I still genuinely enjoy what I do and remain passionate.
Outside of work, I value balance. I enjoy traveling to experience different cultures and perspectives, which I believe helps me think more creatively and work better with diverse teams. I’m also into sports — mainly watching (football/tennis/motogp/sports associated with olympic competitions) —and I make time for fitness mostly inside, i have to confess here i do not enjoy too much outdoor activities that require effort. These interests keep me grounded, energized, and ready to tackle challenges with a fresh mindset.
