Hey, the name’s Sergey. I’ve worked as a software engineer for over 20 years. Originally from Russia, but currently living in Serbia. I have a passion for Linux and FOSS that began in 2002. I’m mostly a backend dev, but I also mess with system architecture, security, and Linux stuff.

I’m available for part-time development and consulting. Russian and English are my major languages, but I also understand some Serbian and French. Email (pgp), Telegram or Mastodon is the best way to contact me.
