About Me

Hello! I'm Rivo Truupõld, an IT Specialist from Estonia with a strong foundation in web development, technical support, and hardware infrastructure management. Over the years, I've developed a versatile skill set that allows me to oversee large-scale hardware environments—tracking devices, managing software inventories, and ensuring seamless Windows updates across systems.

My journey began with web development, which I studied in school. These skills opened the door to data engineering, where I now specialize in organizing and visualizing complex datasets through intuitive and user-friendly websites with automated data features.

In my role at Tartu Local Government, I've had the opportunity to grow professionally—learning hands-on how to maintain robust IT systems and support a wide range of users and devices. This experience has also sparked my interest in cybersecurity. As a hobby, I'm exploring Security Operations Center (SOC) concepts and experimenting with tools like Wazuh to identify system vulnerabilities and strengthen digital defenses.

I'm always learning, always building, and always looking for new ways to improve the systems around me.

If you want to know more about my skill set, make sure to check out my portfolio. If you need any help, just ask and let's figure it out together!
