Sergey Skobkarev is a seasoned System Administrator with over two decades of hands-on experience spanning network engineering, systems and database administration, and UNIX-family programming. Based in Chilliwack, BC, he currently manages infrastructure at the University of the Fraser Valley, bringing deep expertise in VPN/IPSec, routing, DNS/DHCP, firewalls and multi-site Windows and Linux environments. His background includes early systems programming and security work—patching FreeBSD vulnerabilities and modifying telnet/C++ terminal code to extend POS functionality—demonstrating a rare blend of low-level coding and operational administration. Sergey holds multiple industry certifications (CCNA, MCSA/MCSE, MCP, MCDBA) and formal training in communications and business, enabling him to translate technical complexity into clear operational improvements. Known as an organized self-starter and quick learner, he has repeatedly reduced costs and simplified operations by centralizing services (Citrix, DFS, ODBC integrations) and automating routine tasks.
