About

Hey, I’m Sergey Silaev, a software engineer with a passion for networks, encryption, and distributed systems. I’m a CLI enthusiast, a long-time Vim user, and I’ve been using Linux since 2002. I love electronic music and experiment with producing my own tracks (unfortunately not on Linux).

I’m based in Novi Sad, and available for part-time development work or consulting.

The best way to contact me is via email (public key).
