Confessions of a Network Engineer Practitioner

Starting my career from the navy, yet not feeling satisfied or fulfilled, I decided to take a leap of faith and set my heart in something I had always wanted to achieve. Along the road came numerous opportunities, people, and obstacles that shaped me into who I am today. After understanding some cold facts about life, I started exploring my surroundings to find the most suitable work line for myself. Once I was familiar with all the available options, I diverted my mindset towards the IT field. It wasn't an easy path, especially when I had to stay away from my family and my wife for days. There were good days and bad days, and I'm proud that I overcame it all with an optimistic approach. Eventually, I even spared the time to earn an essential qualification to ensure my safety in the field I chose. From my first job in this industry to the ones that came after, the entire process was like a series of transitions that led me to where I am today. I decided to write this book to share my experiences, encounters, work principles, how the IT industry is continually evolving, and how one must cope with the rapid evolution.
