Learning a coding and scripting language has never been more fun. A co-worker put me on Boot.Dev when he heard about my interest in network automation. This is a website that gamifies coding. The courses are broken up into individual courses if you want to learn a specific topic, such as Python, Linux, Git, etc.… […]
Happy to report that I passed the Azure Fundamentals exam marking my first Microsoft certification acquired. It was a good experience and learned a lot. The exam itself is about as difficult as the practice exams provided by Microsoft if you go through their course at the Learn page of their site. In my previous […]
Merging cloud skills with networking has always been an interest of mine for a while but have never made that plunge, until recently that is. Finally cracked the seal in venturing into the cloud space and let me tell you my time learning about what can be done in the cloud has opened some many […]

My first lab built on CML. There is definitely a learning curve to using this platform. Going to be documenting my findings and once I get more comfortable will be noting my experience and providing feedback.

So yeah, to start, I’ve had to make some modifications over the last couple of weeks. Some personal events got in the way, but I think I’m finally making progress in my studies. Technically, I’m still in my first week of studying, but that’s because, as I was using ChatGPT to tailor my daily study […]
How it’s going so far during my first week. A little rocky I’d say. It has been quite some time since I last studied for a certification exam so I’m trying to get into a rhythm of sorts and ease my way to setting up a routine where I study during certain times of the […]
I’m beginning my 2025 certification studies with the CCNP ENCOR exam. I wish I had started right in January, but life got in the way.
