About me

I’m Przemysław Nowak. I live in Coventry, where I work in school appeals and run Red October, my home lab for self-hosting and networking.

Professional background

I spent around 19 years teaching English and now work as a school appeal clerk at Coventry City Council. I also examine GCSE English Literature for AQA and teach Polish independently.

Education and languages

I have a degree in English Philology from the University of Szczecin. Polish is my first language. I speak fluent English, very good German and basic French.

Outside work

I use the home lab to learn how systems fit together, from DNS and remote access to backups. I also run Red October Studio, a photography project focused on portraits, fitness and boudoir.
