What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on offensive security or Red Team roles at collaborative organizations that value practical testing, mentorship opportunities, and growth in advanced AD and infrastructure security.

I am a Linux Administrator and Cybersecurity Instructor with strong technical expertise and a deep passion for open-source systems. I currently hold a scholarship from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, specializing in Senior Linux Administration. At Techneo Academy, I teach students about Linux systems, cybersecurity fundamentals, and network defense strategies.

Previously, I worked as a Helpdesk Specialist at MixComp Service, where I gained practical experience in troubleshooting, system maintenance, and user support. I have advanced knowledge of Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Red Hat — including system setup, user and permission management, process control, automation through shell scripting, and server hardening.

In addition, I have experience working with Windows Server, Active Directory, and basic networking, which helps me handle hybrid environments efficiently. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from Azerbaijan Technical University.

I am passionate about system reliability, automation, and IT security. My goal is to contribute my Linux and cybersecurity skills to a forward-thinking remote team that values innovation, precision, and continuous improvement.
