I spent 10 years working as a Pharmacy Technician before deciding to pursue a career in IT. I started learning Python and became interested in writing scripts to automate repetitive tasks. That led me to explore Linux, where I began learning how computers, servers, and networks actually work. Eventually, I built a Linux home lab to gain practical experience with system administration, networking, and self-hosted services. Today, I'm continuing to expand my skills through personal projects while working toward my CompTIA A+ certification and preparing for an entry-level IT role.
