About me

I’m Andy. Not a professional, not formally trained, just someone who got into IT and networking properly and decided to actually do something about it.

Been messing around with computers most of my life. Home networks, fixing other people’s broken stuff, running servers for various reasons. At some point I realised I was spending most of my free time on this anyway so I might as well try and make it a job.

Currently working through my CCNA. Got a home lab that I’ve gradually built up into something halfway decent. Started documenting things here partly because writing stuff down is the only way I actually retain it, and partly to have something to show people other than a blank CV.

What this site is

Just a place for my notes and write-ups. Labs I’ve done, things I’ve figured out, stuff I’ve broken and then fixed.

It’s not polished and it’s not trying to be. Some posts will be long detailed write-ups, some will just be quick notes. I’ll write better once I’ve got more reps in.

If you’re reading this because you’re thinking about hiring me — the posts are the actual work. That’s what I know and what I can do.
