How I got into IT

-
    Hello and welcome to my blog! In this first article, I want to share with you my journey of how I got into IT and what I have learned along the way.

    It all started when I was a young kid, fascinated by computers and how they worked. I remember spending hours taking apart old computers and studying their components with my father, trying to understand what each part did and how it fit together. This early interest in hardware led me to learn more about computer architecture and how it affects a computer's performance.

    As I grew older, my interests started to shift towards software and programming. I was amazed by the idea of creating something from scratch, using only my knowledge and imagination. I started learning about basic programming principles and languages, such as HTML, C and others.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself stuck at home, always studying to finish high school and get my degree. However, I was looking for something more challenging and exciting. That's when I decided to explore a new field in IT - cybersecurity.

    I started by reading books and articles about cybersecurity, learning about its potential and the various career paths available in this field. What fascinated me the most was the ability to work from home and the constant advancements and new challenges that come with this field.

    Before we continue, I want to make it clear that I am not a professional in the IT industry. While I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience through my personal journey, I am still learning and growing every day.

    This blog is intended to share my personal experiences and insights into the field of IT. That being said, I want to invite you to join me on this journey.
