Education

NETWORK AND SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION/ADMINISTRATOR at Computer Science Classes of Natalya Kazakova
September 1, 2014 - July 1, 2017
Hands-on training where we built systems from the ground up and then actively tested and broke them - giving me early exposure to purple teaming practices. This helped me develop a practical understanding of how systems fail, and how to design them more securely and reliably. We reinforced offensive and defensive skills through platforms like OverTheWire, along with 300+ hours of in-class work focused on installing, upgrading, troubleshooting, and stress-testing Debian and Windows environments - building a strong foundation in system behavior, debugging, and real-world failure scenarios.
