About Me

Anton Bonev

I describe my self as a combination of IT and a Social person which is a combination you dont see very often. I was not born like that of course, but my experience is what developed me into the person I am. I stand by being able to bring a lot to the table so as for the technical side I am deeply interested in the fields of Network Engineering, DevOps and Cloud Engineering. But my main career focus is Network engineering. I have taken Cisco CCNA certifications and other technical ones. And from the professional side I was a Student Ambassador of the European Parliament, and currently I am a student Ambassador for Fontys University of Applied Sciences.

My main goal is Learning as much as possible!
