Building from
the ground up.

Cyber Security graduate learning DevOps while staying rooted in IT, cloud, and networking. I work with Azure, Git/GitHub, and automation, and run a full homelab with EVE‑NG and VMware to practice network design, CCNA concepts, and real troubleshooting.

Learn deeply.
Build practically.

I like understanding systems from the ground up — rebuilding them clean and improving every day. This site is where I document the journey.

My focus spans cloud infrastructure, network design, security fundamentals, and the DevOps toolchain. I believe in hands-on learning over theory alone.
