About Me

My name is Maksim Shkrebtan. I am a software engineer, a husband and a father of 2 little girls.

This is my personal website where I publish my notes, thoughts and whatnot. I sincerely believe that sharing knowledge leads humanity to a better future. And the more we share, the faster we get there.

What I Do

I am a software engineer focusing on site reliability. While I graduated from the university as an information security specialist, my true passion has always been networks and operating systems. My work includes managing application platforms (e.g. Kubernetes), configuring internetworks (Site-to-Site VPN, IPsec, GRE, VLAN) and providing observability of distributed systems. Check my LinkedIn profile if you want to know more!

At this website, I will be publishing notes on the topics that excite me, including:

  • audio;
  • ergonomics at work;
  • household improvements;
  • keyboards and layouts;
  • languages;
  • networking;
  • online privacy;
  • operating systems;
  • professional tools (Unix shells, Emacs);
  • typesetting (ebooks, LaTeX);
  • and many others.
