0.0 Git INIT

Let’s start!

Welcome to my corner of the internet. This is my initial commit to the world of blogging - a space where I’ll document my journey, share insights, and connect with fellow tech enthusiasts.

First of all - a little intro

Personal Info:

  • Name: MFesenko
  • Location: Moscow, RU
  • Current Role: Operations Engineer at a major commercial bank
  • Experience:
    • Nearly 5 years in banking operations and infrastructure
    • Specialization in troubleshooting (system and business logic), monitoring, and building infrastructure architecture for our solutions
    • Previously spent 3 years in technical support at ABBYY, plus some L2 network support experience

Why this blog exists

My motivation for starting this digital journal:

  • Document my learning journey - Share discoveries, challenges, and solutions I encounter
  • Explore interesting themes beyond day-to-day work - I love learning new things that may not be directly useful in my current job but present new challenges and provide fascinating experiences. Think functional programming, rare programming languages, self-hosting, creating scripts and apps that might help in life (or not 😅)
  • Knowledge sharing - Contribute back to the community that has helped me grow
  • Personal growth - Improve my writing and communication skills

Current focus areas

  • Building a pet project called “Chaos Factory” - simulating production problems to better understand system resilience
  • Deep diving into Elixir - exploring why many people say it’s like “Kubernetes in a language”
  • Sharing problem-solving notes - documenting interesting challenges and their solutions
