❤️ About Me
I didn’t enter technology through the usual doors.
There was no computer science degree, no job at a tech company, no formal training, and no professional network waiting to welcome me in. For a long time, that made the tech world feel unreachable. Tech events and conferences felt intimidating — everyone seemed to belong to a space built on credentials, experience, and confidence that I didn’t have.
Everything began with a single Raspberry Pi.
That tiny computer opened the first door into the world of homelab engineering. Setting it up, breaking it, fixing it, and experimenting with it became the foundation of my curiosity. The Raspberry Pi wasn’t just a device — it was the spark that led to servers, networks, storage systems, and eventually a full personal cloud. What started small grew into a daily discipline.
I built my homelab from scratch — servers, networks, storage, virtualization, and eventually a full personal cloud. Every system I built taught me something new. Every mistake became a lesson. Every upgrade became progress.
Even though the outside world didn’t recognize “home lab experience,” it became the foundation of everything I know today.
To stay connected to real people, I joined local tech volunteering sessions. Helping others with their technical problems showed me something important: contribution doesn’t require a job title. Teaching, troubleshooting, and listening made me feel part of a community I once thought I didn’t belong to. Those sessions gave me confidence, purpose, and a reminder that learning is not a competition — it’s a journey.
My story is simple:
- No computer science degree.
- No tech job.
- No industry background.
- No big tech name behind me.
- Just persistence, discipline, curiosity, and a homelab that became my classroom.
If you’re reading this and feel like the tech world has abandoned you — or that you’re “nobody” because you don’t have the right background — I want you to know something:
You don’t need permission to start.
You don’t need a degree to build.
You don’t need a job title to learn.
You only need the courage to begin.
Pick up something today.
Learn it.
Build it.
Break it.
Fix it.
Repeat.
Your learning path never ends — unless you give up on yourself.
This is my story.
This is my journey.
And this is the identity I built with my own hands.
