This is some of the stuff I’ve been cooking with since I started my IT journey like a year and a half ago. I should probably be documenting more of the stuff I’ve been doing, but I feel like I’d just wear myself out even more if I did that consistently in-between trying to learn stuff and trying to actually land a job. The trajectory of my journey has shifted from just wanting to be a bit technical and get a decent small-time support gig to wanting to get into networking to wanting to be a systems administrator to wanting to be in the cloud to loving automation and wanting to do DevOps to now wanting to be in cybersecurity. I just hope all this will show for something. For now, I’ve just been grinding away kind of aimlessly – not going to lie.
