About Me
Software Engineering | Homelab Enthusiast | Continuous Learner
Hello, I'm Shanal
I'm an aspiring IT professional with a passion for troubleshooting, building infrastructure, and helping people solve technical problems. My journey into IT started with curiosity about how things work, which led me to build my own computers and eventually create a full homelab environment.
Through my homelab, I've gained hands-on experience with virtualization, networking, Linux server administration, and automation. I enjoy documenting my learning process and sharing knowledge with others in the IT community.
I'm currently focused on expanding my IT skills, earning industry certifications, and building a strong foundation in help desk support, system administration, and network infrastructure.
