01 ABOUT_ME
PERSONNEL PROFILE
I'm Zeeshan, a 17-year-old IT enthusiast living in the United Kingdom. I enjoy learning by actually building, repairing and experimenting with technology.
I've built PCs, configured a TrueNAS server, experimented with Linux and Docker, hosted services, worked with networking and solved hardware and software problems.
I'm particularly interested in IT support, networking, servers and infrastructure, while continuing to build the skills and experience that could eventually lead towards cybersecurity.
I believe the best way to learn technology is to build something, break something, understand why it broke, and make it better.
