About Me
From a hand-me-down PC to building my own world
Short version below — the full narrative lives on About.
The tech story
It started around 2010, when my grandfather gave me my first PC. No classes, no mentors — just curiosity. I taught myself everything from BIOS flashing and deep system troubleshooting to running every Linux distro I could download (Mint, Ubuntu, Kali, Fedora, CentOS…) and even Hackintosh builds. Today I hold Google IT Support Specialist and Google Cybersecurity certifications, and I work across web development, Python, ethical hacking, AI/LLM training, and network & system administration.

The travel story
Since 2018 I’ve worked in the travel industry, starting at an airline and mastering the GDS systems the industry runs on — Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo. I’ve booked over 500 tickets, arranged visas for India, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand, and designed custom tour packages. That experience grew into founding my own travel company, Zetova Journeys, alongside Zetova Technologies.
