Sixty posts. That number represents a lot more than just blog entries—it’s a record of my growth, my challenges, and my commitment to becoming the best version of myself in the IT world.

When I first started this journey, I wasn’t sure I belonged in IT. I wondered if I was “smart enough,” “technical enough,” or “young enough” to enter a fast-paced, ever-changing industry.
