I am a Linux Engineer, Database Administrator and Software Developer with 15+ years of experience. I have a huge background with Windows and Enterprise environment as well. However, I really love Linux, Open Source software and all related stuff! I am not a fanatic and have a great understanding of where and why should someone use Windows or Linux, and choose between proprietary software or Open Source analog. Each side has pros and cons, and many of them are good known to me :)
At the moment I am looking for a new project to dedicate to it my free time, get new skills and share my experience.
