ArtyomGuides

My name is Artyom, and I’m an aspiring IT professional currently in my first year of the Information Technology and Media Production program at Elvebakken High School (Elvebakken Videregående Skole). My passion for technology started with a curiosity about how systems work, from hardware components to software configurations, and has since evolved into a hands-on, problem-solving mindset.

I’m passionate about combining creativity and technology, whether through IT support, media production, or systems administration. In the future, I aim to work in roles that allow me to solve real-world technical challenges while constantly learning and improving my skill set. My adaptability, curiosity to explore new solutions, and solid technical foundation make me excited to contribute to dynamic teams in the tech industry.

• Hardware & System Management
  I manage two personal systems optimized for different workloads:
  • Main workstation: Running Fedora Linux, equipped with a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RX 7800 XT, used for daily productivity, creative work, gaming, and system-level experimentation.
  • Self-hosted Ubuntu Server: Running on a Ryzen 9 5900X and RTX 3060, this machine handles a containerized stack through Docker and CasaOS, managing services like Plex, Nextcloud Sonarr, Radarr, Overseerr, OpenWebUI, WordPress, MariaDB, Crafty, and Nginx Proxy Manager.
• Homelab & Docker Management
  My homelab is fully Docker-driven, with a strong focus on media automation and self-hosted tools. I’ve configured automated pipelines for media using Sonarr/Radarr tied to Overseerr, set up reverse proxy via Nginx Proxy Manager, and resolved issues around permissions, HTTPS routing, Cloudflare SSL, and volume mapping, sharpening my troubleshooting skills through real-world challenges.
• Creative Software Proficiency
  Alongside my technical experience, I’m proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. I also understand how to handle different software configurations, such as customizing software settings and looks, managing hardware parameters, and ensuring compatibility across different hardware setups.
• Linux Administration & Open-Source Solutions
  By daily driving Fedora Linux and managing an Ubuntu Server, I’ve built solid command-line proficiency, package management experience, and a strong understanding of Linux internals. I’m comfortable tweaking services, resolving conflicts, and keeping systems stable.
• Adaptability & Constant Learning
  I thrive on diving into new platforms, testing self-hosted services, and learning through trial and error. Whether I’m setting up a WordPress site or configuring Docker networks, I approach each challenge with curiosity and persistence.

Education & Academic Achievements

As a student at Elvebakken High School, I’m developing both my technical and creative skills through hands-on projects and coursework. I currently maintain a GPA of 5.5/6, reflecting my commitment to excelling academically while continuing to explore technology independently. I strongly value in-field, hands-on experience, and I actively spend my free time experimenting with personal projects, testing new tools, and finding ways to optimize both my workflow and daily comfort through technology.
