IT SupportMiddle Sysadmin

I keep company infrastructure running and help people get unstuck — from VPN and Active Directory to a single user's ticket. I don't wait to be told what to fix: I spot what needs improving and see it through.

About

I make a habit of noticing what can be improved — in the work itself or in the infrastructure behind it — and I bring my own suggestions rather than waiting to be told. I'd rather understand a problem and build my own fix than just plug in something off the shelf, and I follow through until it's actually running.

I'm equally comfortable with day-to-day tickets and more complex systems work — I judge both by the value they add for the business, not by whether a ticket got closed. Over 2.9 years at the intersection of support and system administration, I've kept infrastructure running for ~200 users (on-site plus 4 remote partner organizations), with an average 10-minute ticket turnaround. Seeing things through to a real result matters to me, even when it's technically outside my job description.

What I run

VPN service

Designed and built a company-wide VPN from scratch to replace a third-party service. Used by the entire company today.

stable

Directory & access

Active Directory and Group Policy (GPO) — accounts and permissions, handled in-house, no contractors involved.

stable

Backups & monitoring

Backup routines and infrastructure monitoring in Zabbix — watching server and proxy reliability day to day.

stable

1C & e-document flow

Rolled out and maintain 1C along with e-document exchange modules: Kontur.Diadoc, DocInBox, UTM.

stable

Network & power

Switches, UPS units, and battery replacements — scheduled maintenance instead of downtime from failed hardware.

stable

AI tooling

First in the company to adopt AI tools systematically: task automation, staff training, and AI-assisted content.

side project

Eva — AI persona

An AI-generated character I run on Instagram — a personal-life, lifestyle-style presence used to build an audience and promote a brand/product. I generate all the content myself. Started as a hands-on way to actually learn AI tooling rather than just read about it, and it's turned into a hobby I keep investing in.
