I'm Richard. I learn by building things and figuring out why they break.

I'm based in Gdynia, Poland, with fifteen years of customer and technical support experience across online gaming and SaaS. Troubleshooting, explaining problems clearly, and helping people through them have been a big part of my work.

My focus now is networking and Linux. I'm studying for the CCNA and using my home lab to put the theory into practice: configuring networks, working with virtual machines, and running my own services.

I'm considering two paths: NOC work towards network engineering, or Linux administration towards systems engineering, with the RHCSA as a possible next step. The CCNA comes first. Security is an interest I may explore further once those foundations are in place.

This site is a record of that practical work as it develops. I've also built software and automation projects, and outside of tech, I'm a freediver.
