IT Support Specialist → Cybersecurity (in progress)
I'm the kind of person who can't just use technology — I need to understand how it works, break it, fix it, and build something with it. Nearly 20 years of self-taught tinkering, 2+ years of professional IT support, and a growing obsession with Linux, Networking, and Security.
Currently turning that curiosity into something structured — and public.

When I'm not staring at a screen full of logs, I shoot film and digital photography under the name Kalev. Same mindset — observe carefully, understand the light, and don't rush the shot.
