    Interests

    Apart from my work as a Linux and cloud administrator, I'm interested in aviation and space, as well as geopolitics and international topics.

    I also spend a lot of time on self-education, and if I have time I play management and strategy games (SC2, Warhammer 40.00, Frostpunk etc.).
