Let’s say it this way — you can, but it’s not a must-read. I share my story because it shows how everything that’s happened in my life shaped who I am today — my challenges, my goals, and my determination to never give up.

I’m still looking for a job today, not because I haven’t tried, but because I refuse to just sit back and wait for something to happen. People often say, “Life goes on,” when things get hard — and they’re right. We can’t hold onto the past forever. We have to move forward, learn from what’s behind us, and give our best every single day.

No matter how many rejections I face, or how many times I’m overlooked by companies that don’t yet see my full potential — I keep pushing forward. Even when things feel impossible, I work harder than before. 💪

Because in life, it doesn’t matter if you’re 21, 45, or even 82 years old — if you want to work, if you want to grow, you’ll do it with pride every day. It’s all about the decision you make: either keep pushing, or sit and wait for nothing to change.

Sometimes, a short break is needed — but too long of a break can hold you back. That’s why I keep going. One step at a time, every day, toward the IT career I’ve dreamed of. 🌍💻

I wanted to make a long, outstanding story, so let’s start:

I was always the kind of person who knew early in life what I wanted to become. Back in high school, I already realized what I truly wanted to do — but I also knew I was in the wrong school for it.

I had the opportunity to work with my dad, who owned his own business, and that’s where my first work experience began. His company specialized in mechanical engineering — working with machines like lathes, milling machines, slotters, drills, and even a bit of CNC. He made gears, sprockets, shafts, keys, and many other custom parts.

We worked for several companies, including one fruit juice manufacturer in Apex, Brakpan (I think their name was Tru Fruit), where we built entire conveyor systems from scratch. We designed, built, and installed everything — from the belts that moved the juice bottles, to the labelers, and even the bottle guides. That company loved my dad’s work and always chose him for new projects. We also did a lot of work for Clover in Boksburg. Their contact person trusted my dad completely, and we always had more work than time — often working until midnight or 1 a.m. and being back at 6 a.m., sometimes for months with only one weekend off.

From January 2015 to February 2020, I worked full-time with my dad. My parents once considered sending me to college, but they noticed that I wasn’t in the right field of work, so they waited for me to decide my own path. During those years, I saw how others around me were improving, growing, and succeeding, but I wasn’t. I realized that true success comes from doing what you love and what you’re naturally good at — and while I respected the trade, it wasn’t for me.

In 2019–2020, I traveled to Cape Town during the holidays and even thought about staying there, but I knew finding work in engineering would be difficult, as that field is smaller and the cost of living is higher there. Around February 2020, my dad decided to close his business. He saw the signs of the pandemic coming — he and my mom were in South America at the time, and COVID-19 had already started spreading there. He also wanted to immigrate to South America, so when the business closed, I was left without work for the next three years.

During that time, I decided to study. I found an online institute based in Ireland that offered web development courses — unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam and doesn’t exist today. But that’s how I discovered web development. It was my first exposure to HTML and CSS, and I loved learning how websites work. Even though the course was limited, I found w3schools.com and began teaching myself more.

Then, one day, my PC suddenly stopped working after a power outage. I tested everything and discovered my motherboard had failed. I had no money to replace it — I couldn’t even replace my old phone that was already six years old. So I kept applying for jobs and hoping for the best.

In July 2023, I got my driver’s license and decided to try deliveries, but that didn’t work out. Then, out of nowhere, a laser cutting company called me late one Thursday night in October 2023 — around 8:30 p.m. They wanted me to come in for an interview the next morning. I went, and the boss offered me training and a full-time position. I accepted.

That job lasted nearly a year — eleven months and two weeks — and I truly enjoyed it. But everything happens for a reason. One day, the laser machine I operated broke down due to a power supply issue, and that moment made me realize something: it was time to return to my passion for IT.

That same day, I decided to start studying again. I researched CompTIA certifications and found that the best path was to begin with CompTIA A+, then move to Network+, and later Security+. I ordered my A+ books and started studying. A few weeks later, the machine was repaired, but it never worked perfectly again — 12 mm and 16 mm plates wouldn’t cut smoothly, no matter how well the settings were adjusted. Still, I kept working hard and got my Network+ books soon after because I knew A+ alone wouldn’t be enough.

Around that time, one of my uncle’s friends (who was doing Cybersecurity work) told me about his job — protecting systems, managing IP threats, and more. It fascinated me, and he encouraged me to start earning my certifications to enter the IT field first before aiming for cybersecurity.

By the end of my time at the laser company, I fully realized how important studying was for my future. After that, I took a bit of time to recover from some personal stress, and by November 2024, I made a clear promise to myself: January 2025 is when I restart.

Laser cutting wasn’t easy. Some nights the machine worked perfectly; others, nothing went right. But I never quit, even on the toughest nights. I believe that challenges — like storms — come to test your strength, not stop you.

When January 2025 arrived, I began studying again seriously. In March, I wrote my first IT exam — and failed. In May, I failed again. In June, I passed CompTIA A+ Core 1. In August, I failed Core 2. In September, I failed again — but that time I was sick during the exam. Still, no excuses — a fail is a fail. I’ve always believed in showing up, even when it’s hard.

Finally, on the very last day of the 1100 series (in English), I told myself: Today, I pass. And I did.

That moment meant everything to me — years of effort, frustration, and self-learning finally paid off.

After earning my CompTIA A+ certification, I felt both happy and motivated to continue. I decided to return to Full Stack Web Development, not to switch careers completely, but to strengthen my technical background. I believe that the more you know, the better your opportunities become.

I’m now studying for my CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam, aiming to complete it by January or February 2026, and I hope to earn CompTIA Security+ later that same year.

Over the years, I’ve gained home experience fixing and troubleshooting computers — repairing BSOD errors, reinstalling Windows OS, diagnosing power supply or motherboard issues, and rebuilding PCs. When I was 12, I even set up home networks so all PCs could share drives and files securely.

In 2025, I also started working weekends at Orama, and in March that year, I helped with camera installations for a week (more details in my Experience section).

One thing about me: I never give up. I send out CVs every day — 50 to 100 per day sometimes — because I believe the more effort you put in, the greater your chances become.

🌏 Dreams & Goals

I’ve always loved New Zealand — there’s just something about that country that captures my heart, especially Queenstown. It’s my dream to one day live and work there in IT, once I gain more experience and certifications.

I also love the Western Cape, where I’ve spent time before COVID-19. I’d love to live and work there too, but so far, no luck finding opportunities. Still, I believe the right chance will come.

On a personal note, I met a wonderful girl through gaming — she lives in Port Elizabeth. We share a lot in common, and we talk every day. She’s kind, beautiful, and someone I deeply care about. Whether it turns into a relationship or stays a close friendship, I want to be my best self for her, both personally and professionally.

She dreams of living in the Western Cape too, and together, I believe we could build a good life there.

Even though I’ve faced many setbacks, I’ve learned one thing: there’s always someone willing to give you a chance — it’s just about being ready when the opportunity arrives.

This is who I am — my story, my journey, and my determination to keep learning, keep growing, and keep believing that hard work and passion will one day lead me exactly where I’m meant to be.

This is the question I’ve asked myself every single year.
Ever since COVID-19 hit in March 2020, my life changed completely — and not in a good way. For five long years, I’ve struggled to find my feet, rebuild my momentum, and get back to the life I wanted. 2020 to 2023 felt like one long “break year” — the kind of break where life just stops working, no matter how hard you try. 😞💔

Things started improving in 2024 and 2025, but I’m still not where I want to be. I keep climbing but the hill just gets steeper. The harder I push, the harder it gets. It feels like every time I try to get out of the hole, something pulls me back down. But I haven’t stopped. I refuse to stop. 💪🔥

In 2025, I told myself I would finish all my certifications — CompTIA A+, N+, and S+.
Reality hit me hard, and I was only able to complete my CompTIA A+ in September.
I’ve started studying Network+ , and that will be my 2026 exam… and I’m aiming for Security+ in the same year too. 📘💻🔐

So what do I want from 2026?

I want growth.
I want opportunity.
I want stability.
And I want a life that finally moves forward instead of backwards. 🌱🚀

2026 MUST be my “make” year — the year that turns everything around, the year that takes me from zero to hero , the year I finally see the results of everything I’ve been fighting for. ⭐

I want to leave Johannesburg.
I want to move to the Western Cape.
I want to live somewhere I feel alive again.
Somewhere I can prove myself, grow, and start fresh. 🌊🏙️

I’m tired of break years.
I’m tired of struggling every day.
I’m tired of giving everything and getting nothing back.
I cannot live like that anymore. ❌

But this time… I am standing up stronger than ever.
I believe there is hope. I believe there is a chance.
A friend once told me, “If I can, then so can you.”
And he’s right — if he can do it, so can I. And so will I. 💯🔥

2026 is my year — and I’m going to fight for it.

Since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by technology. One of my earliest memories is playing games on my uncle’s computer before I even started primary school. What started as simple curiosity quickly turned into a deeper interest in how computers actually work.

During my primary school years I began exploring computers on my own. I installed programs, ran antivirus and anti-malware scans, and experimented with different software. I also remember setting up a small network between computers so that we could play LAN games together and share files directly between hard drives without using USB drives. Experiences like these sparked a long-term interest in understanding and working with technology.

As I grew older, I continued teaching myself technical skills such as installing Windows, troubleshooting hardware issues, and diagnosing problems when computers stopped working. Learning these things at a young age made me realise that technology was not just a hobby for me, but something I genuinely enjoy working with.

My interest in IT has always come from curiosity and passion rather than simply choosing a career based on salary. I enjoy solving technical problems, learning how systems work, and improving my skills over time.

To strengthen my knowledge, I earned the CompTIA A+ certification and I am currently continuing to build my skills in networking and technical troubleshooting. While I am still working toward gaining professional IT experience, I remain committed to learning and improving every day.

Technology has always been a part of my life, and I am motivated to keep developing my skills and applying my knowledge in a professional environment.

After six years working as a Fitter & Turner, I gained valuable experience working with machines such as lathes, milling machines, slotting machines, and hand tools like grinders and drills. It was not always easy. I struggled at times and worked slower than others, but those challenges taught me patience, discipline, and how to approach technical work step by step. Even though some things may need refreshing, they are skills I know I can learn again quickly.

During my time in the workshop, I did much more than just operate machines. I was also responsible for cleaning and maintaining equipment, removing and sorting metal shavings, and helping with stock control for bolts, nuts, screws, and other workshop components. These responsibilities helped me understand the full workflow of a mechanical workshop. 🔩

I also spent one year working as a laser cutting machine operator, which taught me how to work independently, manage pressure, and complete jobs accurately. Part of my work included deburring sharp edges and preparing parts for assembly, ensuring that components were finished correctly and ready for use. 🔧

In addition to machine work, I gained experience stripping, repairing, replacing, and assembling mechanical parts. These tasks strengthened my understanding of how mechanical systems work and how important precision and attention to detail are in engineering environments.

Although I later pursued my CompTIA A+ certification in Information Technology, that experience also showed me that I enjoy learning technical skills and solving practical problems. The certification proved to me that I am capable of studying, learning, and growing in technical fields.

Mechanical engineering is the field where I have the most hands-on experience, and I believe it is a strong foundation to continue building my career. My plan is to continue developing my knowledge and possibly complete N1–N3 or N4 mechanical engineering studies to strengthen my understanding of the field. 📚

I know the path will not always be easy, but challenges are part of growth. By continuing to learn, work hard, and gain experience, I am confident that I can keep improving and building a strong future in mechanical engineering. ⚙️

Technology has always been a passion of mine, and Information Technology remains something I truly enjoy learning and working with. I will always continue developing my IT knowledge, building my skills, and using the certifications I have earned and will earn in the future. 💻

However, entering the IT industry can be very competitive, especially when trying to gain the first opportunity to prove your abilities. Because of this, I decided to also include Mechanical Engineering on my website. This is not because I lost interest in IT, but because I want to present all of my real technical experience and skills.

Mechanical engineering is a field where I already have seven years of practical experience, including work as a Fitter & Turner and Laser Machine Operator. This experience gives me an opportunity to continue working, improving my skills, and building a stable professional future while still growing in technical environments. ⚙️

My goal is not to jump from field to field or chase opportunities without commitment. Instead, I want to build a strong technical career based on the skills and experience I have developed over time. Both IT and Mechanical Engineering involve problem-solving, technical thinking, and continuous learning, which are qualities I enjoy developing. 🔧💡

This website is designed to show my full technical journey, including my passion for IT as well as my hands-on engineering experience. By presenting both areas, I hope to demonstrate versatility, dedication, and a willingness to keep learning and improving.

Ultimately, my goal is simple: to keep growing, gaining experience, and contributing my skills in a professional environment. Every opportunity to learn and improve helps me move forward and build a stronger future. 🚀

Let’s start this way — I’ve worked in an engineering workshop for 6 years and later at a laser cutting company for 1 year. During that time, I gave my best every single day, but deep down I always felt like I was struggling to keep up. I worked hard, but my pace never matched the rhythm of the industry.

After a while, I realized something important — this wasn’t about not being capable, it was about not being fulfilled. I knew that someone with my years of experience should’ve naturally grown faster and more confident in that field, but my heart just wasn’t in it.

It’s not that the work was bad — in fact, it’s incredibly skilled and honest work 💪. With the right company and the right mindset, you can build a solid and successful future in engineering. But for me, it just didn’t feel right anymore.

I truly believe that when you find a career that fits who you are — where passion meets purpose — that’s where you’ll thrive. And for me, that career is in IT. 💻✨

I’ve accepted that my strengths belong in a field where I can grow through learning, troubleshooting, creating, and helping others through technology. That’s where I feel most alive, and that’s where my journey continues.

In March 2020, something happened that changed the world forever — COVID-19. It was a dark time for so many people. Lives were lost, jobs disappeared, and the future became uncertain for millions. I was one of them.

When the pandemic hit, I truly believed I’d find another job soon, but that wasn’t the case. Every company I applied to either stopped hiring or closed completely. Even with my experience, I couldn’t get a single interview — not one.

During that time, I also injured myself while lifting something heavy and developed a small groin rupture. It’s not too serious, but it’s something I’ll need to get fixed once I can afford proper medical aid.

Still, I didn’t give up. I kept trying. I posted my own ads offering to do any kind of work — cleaning yards, cutting grass, washing cars, painting, small repairs — anything that could earn me a little income. But even then, no luck.

I walked around Boksburg and Anderbolt for days, going from company to company handing out CVs, hoping someone would give me a chance — even if it was unpaid, just for experience. But every door stayed closed.

Those three years were some of the toughest in my life. I learned what it truly means to start from zero and still keep going. So when I finally got the call for a laser operator job, I accepted immediately — because I knew opportunities like that don’t come often.

Looking back, I don’t regret it. That time taught me persistence, humility, and appreciation for every opportunity that comes my way. 🌟

During those three tough years, I didn’t just sit back — I kept trying to find any kind of work I could. I looked everywhere for peace jobs, hoping even one small job could help me earn a little income. Unfortunately, nothing worked out.

There were times when I helped out as a security guard, doing 12-hour shifts to protect residential complexes and small business areas. It wasn’t permanent work, but I was thankful for every chance I got.

Besides that, I started learning something completely new — web development. I began coding my first webpages using Notepad++ and used a program called XAMPP to run my pages like a real web server. I can still remember how proud I was when I saw my first website running in a browser.

Sadly, my computer broke during that time and I couldn’t afford to repair it, so I lost my progress. That was a hard moment because I was finally finding something I truly loved doing. Even today, I don’t have my own PC — I’m currently using a borrowed laptop to continue learning and building my IT skills.

But even with all that, I never stopped believing in myself. 💪 Every setback just made me more determined to keep going, keep learning, and build a future in IT — the career I’ve always wanted.

I have a few friends — no names needed — who were never interested in IT before. They didn’t even know what it really was until they started working in the field. Some of them asked me simple questions like, “What are these network ports for?” or “How do I install Windows?” or “Why is my hard drive not being detected?”

One of my friends started a networking/security job without even doing the basics that CompTIA A+ teaches — yet he grew fast and gained solid experience. He even asked for my CV once, but when I sent it to him updated and ready, I still wasn’t given a chance at that company. I had my driver’s license, my own transport, and a strong will to work — but still, no interview.

Another friend started with zero IT experience. His first day in the field was his first step ever into IT. He learned everything from the ground up at his job and now has good experience, even without certifications yet. He plans to get certified soon — and I truly respect that.

But the truth is, even with my CompTIA A+ certification, even with years of self-learning and experience troubleshooting, setting up networks, and building PCs, I still haven’t been given that one real chance in the IT field. I’m not sharing this to complain — I’m sharing it because it’s reality.

I’m serious about my career. I want to work. I’m ready to grow, learn, and prove what I can do. One of my friends told me something that stuck with me:
“If I can do it, so can you.”
And he’s right — anyone can succeed if they believe in themselves and put in the work.

Today, I’ve even built and coded my own website — with some help from ChatGPT — and it looks better than I ever imagined. It’s still not perfect, but it’s mine. Every bit of progress I’ve made reminds me that good things take time, and that’s exactly why I’ll never stop trying. 🌟💻

As 2025 comes to an end, I can proudly say I earned my CompTIA A+ certification on September 25th, after passing my Core 2 exam. I’ve spent countless hours searching and applying for IT jobs — even short-term contracts — to prove my skills, but so far, no opportunity has come my way.

That won’t stop me. Giving up is not an option. Every single day, I keep searching for new opportunities because I believe that consistency and effort always pay off in time.

In 2026, my main goal is to get my first IT job and gain real hands-on experience in the field I love. I also plan to relocate to the Western Cape, a place I’ve visited several times and completely fell in love with. I know living there won’t be easy — it’s expensive and competitive — but I’m ready to face any challenge that comes my way.

I also have someone very special in my life — a wonderful woman from PE who dreams of moving to the Western Cape too. Together, we want to build a life, support each other, and work toward our goals.

Through my journey, I’ve worked 5 years in the engineering industry (fitting & turning) ⚙️, 1 year as a laser cutting operator 🔥, a week in camera installations 🎥, and now a few months as a security guard at Orama 🛡️ — where I also sometimes help waiters deliver orders 🍽️, clean tables 🧹, and even take small orders for customers ☕.

Each industry taught me something unique. Every field has its own rhythm and challenges. I might not have been the best, but I always gave my best 💪 — even if I worked slower, I made sure the job was done right. At the laser company, I pushed myself hard, especially during night shifts 🌙, handling important jobs and making sure everything went out on time.

There were times I struggled — like when I wished I knew more about setting up layers 🧩 — but every challenge taught me something valuable. Now, as a security guard, things are different: less pressure, fewer jobs, but a strong sense of responsibility to keep the place safe 🚨.

I’m grateful to have a job 🙏, and I’m proud of every step that brought me here. One day, all these experiences — from engineering to security — will show how much I’ve grown and learned. 🌱

Because that’s what life is about: the more you learn, the easier things become in the end. So never forget what you’ve learned — one day, that experience might be exactly what you need again. 💫

I had every opportunity to study when I was younger (from 17 to 27), but like most people, I didn’t listen the first, second, or even the third time. I thought I was clever, and that mindset took me nowhere. As 2024 was coming to an end, I realized I had made a big mistake and wasted so much time on things that never built my future. Not because I was lazy — I will work day or night, Monday to Sunday — but because I didn’t do the things I should’ve done when I had the chance. I can only blame myself, but the good news is that it’s never too late to change. I’m not old, but I’m older, and now I know the true value of studying. 📘

Some days I didn’t even have time to make my bed, but I still chose to open my book and learn. Why? Because I discovered that studying every day makes life easier, even when life is still hard. I don’t beg for work or opportunities — I ask, I try, and I work for them. I know I don’t know everything, but the knowledge I do have is something no one can ever take away from me. Today I am CompTIA A+ certified — and yes, that matters. It’s not the highest certification in the world, but it is the beginning of my journey. It proves that I can do real entry-level IT work and understand things I never knew existed. 🚀

You don’t go to school and jump straight to matric at age 7 — you start at the bottom like everyone else. And this is my first step toward the next door. Doors don’t open by themselves, but when you work hard and prove yourself, the right door will open. What I’ve learned is simple: never stop dreaming, never stop learning, and never stop moving forward. And honestly… I actually enjoy learning now — gaining new skills and knowledge feels amazing. 🔥

My love for the Western Cape started all the way back in 2007 when I visited during a school holiday. I was still in primary school, but those three weeks changed something in me — the scenery, the places we visited, the feeling of being there… it was unforgettable. In 2009 we went to Durban for Christmas, and honestly, that trip made me realize even more how much the Western Cape meant to me. The vibe didn’t click with me at all, not even on my 12th birthday.

For the next five and a half years, I didn’t see the ocean again — until 2015, when I visited a friend in Gansbaai. The moment I arrived, the memories from 2007 came straight back. I loved it so much that I returned again that December for three weeks, and it felt like home. In 2017 I visited twice, including a long stay in Fish Hoek, and once again I felt that same connection. Then in 2019, I visited Hermanus, Simons Town, and Fish Hoek again for three and a half weeks — including my birthday — and it was honestly one of the best times of my life. Every time I go back, it feels right. It feels like me.

Here in Johannesburg, I don’t feel that. I’m not unhappy, but I don’t feel like myself either. I don’t go out, I don’t do much, and it just feels like I’m here — nothing more. In Cape Town and the Western Cape, I feel alive. I enjoy life. I do things I love. Even something simple like swimming in the ocean makes me feel like I belong somewhere. Yes, life is harder and more expensive there, but the quality of life and the happiness I feel is worth it. 🌅

Will I work in JHB if I need to? Of course — life takes us where we need to go. But deep down, the Western Cape is the place where I’ve felt the most like myself, and that’s something I’ll never forget. ❤️

I built this website by testing my own skills — seeing what I could do myself, and learning what I still need to grow in. I can do very basic web development, and I know only a handful of tags and where they fit in. Yes, I used ChatGPT to help me with some parts too, especially to make the site look cleaner, more professional, and more organized.

But the layout, the style, and the direction all came from the picture I had in my mind. This website reflects my personal goals and the standard I want to reach in everything I do. Even though web development isn’t my strongest field, I genuinely enjoy the coding, the experimenting, and the process of improving something I created myself.

I want to take a moment to say thank you to ChatGPT for the support — without that help, this website wouldn’t look the way it does today. The content across my pages, the writing quality, the grammar, and the professional tone all came from the assistance I received here. My natural English and sentence structure are not at this level yet, and I’m not ashamed to say it. I’m learning, improving, and doing my best.

I am also currently working through a Full Stack Web Development course on Udemy, learning step by step and building a stronger foundation as I go. As I continue studying, buying new courses, and expanding my skills, I will keep updating my website.

I’m committed to going all-in, learning as much as I can, and becoming the best version of myself — no matter how long the journey takes. 💪🔥

I had a choice: build my website fully on my own with limited coding skills — which would have looked messy and unorganized — or get help so I could create something clean, modern, and professional. ✨💻
With ChatGPT’s guidance, my code became more structured, my layout improved, and even the images display beautifully on the page. Without help, the site simply would not look the way it does today. 🎨📸

My coding skills are still far from perfect, and I know I have a long journey ahead before I reach a professional level. 🚀📘
But that’s exactly why I chose this path. I wanted to learn, to grow, and to build my own website from scratch instead of using quick, ready-made 3rd-party tools that teach you nothing. 🧠🛠️

This project kept me busy, motivated me to try new things, and helped me improve my skills. And yes — I plan to help others too, especially people who know nothing about IT or coding. Helping people is part of who I am. 🤝💙

They say “the more you learn, the more you earn,” and that’s not just about money — it’s about knowledge, experience, and skills. 📚💡
My portfolio might not be the most beautiful in the world, but it’s something real, something I built, and something far better than having nothing at all.

Experience matters. Companies want to see that you tried, learned, and didn’t let the days pass by doing nothing. 🔍📈

I am proud of what I created, and I’m grateful for the help that made this website even better. 🙏🌐
Hard work pays off — and this website is proof that even small steps count toward big experience. 💪🔥

I want to take a moment to say a truly heartfelt thank you to every employer who takes the time to look at my portfolio or CV. 🙏💼
I understand that employers face challenges too — finding the right candidate, taking risks, and sometimes even giving opportunities to people who may not have experience yet in that specific field. That takes trust, patience, and leadership. 👏🏽🤝

Although I’ve never been officially employed in the IT field, I’ve always done what I could — helping with tech tasks, troubleshooting, installing cameras, and learning wherever possible. 🔧💻📸
I respect every employer who gives someone a chance, because opportunities change lives. And even when it didn’t always feel easy, I still appreciate every moment.

I also want to thank the employers from my past who did give me a chance. 🙌
Even when I struggled, I showed up, I learned, I asked questions, and I never gave up. I tried to improve every single day — because effort and growth matter more than perfection. 📈💪

From my heart, I say thank you again. ❤️
I respect you, I appreciate you, and I wish you all the best in your journeys too. Life moves forward, and so do I — always learning, always growing, and always aiming to be the best version of myself. 🌱🚀

One day, I hope to reach the top — not by shortcuts, but by hard work, experience, and dedication. Nothing is ever done for nothing. 🔥🛠️

I’ve been thinking a lot lately, and I realised something important: even working on a cruise ship could be an amazing start for me. I’m open to opportunities, and I’m ready to work hard for real experience.

I can contribute in two main ways on a cruise ship:

1️⃣ IT Technician Roles:

I have my CompTIA A+ certification, and I’m actively working toward my CompTIA N+ soon. Every day I’m building my IT knowledge, practicing, and preparing for real-world environments. Once I start doing networking projects, I’ll add those too.

If you’re an employer reading this — yes, I am lifting my hand for a chance. I’m not begging; I’m simply showing my willingness to work, learn, and prove what I’m capable of. 💻🔧

2️⃣ Hospitality & Support Roles:

Right now, I work at a roadhouse, and I help whenever I’m asked — whether it’s serving, assisting the kitchen, or stepping in during busy times. I’m not afraid of hard work. I’ve worked 15–16 hour shifts when needed. I don’t complain, I don’t quit — I show up and I get the job done. 🍽️💪

Prepared & Serious About This Path

I understand that cruise ships require more than just certifications — safety training is essential, and I am already looking into how to complete that. 🚨
I also have a valid passport (until 2029), an unabridged certificate, and I will apply for a visa once needed. 🛂

Why a Cruise Ship?

• Because working on a ship gives me everything I want in life right now:
• A chance to prove my worth
• Meeting new people from all over the world 🌐
• Gaining international experience
• Growing my skills
• Seeing new places
• Opening doors to even more opportunities 🚀

Nothing can hold me back from improving my life. I love growing, learning, working hard, and becoming better than I was yesterday.

And if a cruise ship is the place where my journey begins — I’m ready for it. ⚓🔥

As we move through early 2026, I’ve made a personal decision to stay active, productive, and focused while I continue searching for opportunities. Instead of waiting at home for calls, I spend my days doing recycling work, updating my CV to stand out more, improving my website, and applying for a wide range of roles. While my long-term goal is to build a career in IT, I remain open to any opportunity that allows me to earn an income, gain experience, and keep growing. Recycling may not provide a large income, but it allows me to stay disciplined, active, and save toward my CompTIA Network+ certification, which is an important step in my IT journey.

My passion remains firmly in technology — whether it’s troubleshooting computers, solving technical problems, building PCs, or learning networking concepts that are essential in every IT environment. I push myself because I want to improve continuously, contribute meaningfully to any company that gives me an opportunity, and build a strong future through hard work and determination. My freelance page and ongoing website updates reflect this mindset: a willingness to help others, gain practical experience, and keep learning while working toward my goal of entering the IT field.

Yes.

IT is the field I am passionate about and where I want to build my long-term career. However, I also understand that remaining unemployed while waiting only for an IT opportunity would not be realistic or responsible. I am willing to take any honest work to support myself, rebuild momentum, and continue moving forward while actively pursuing a position in the IT field.

Today, many entry-level roles still require experience, even though they are meant to be starting points. Because of this reality, I am prepared to work in other industries while I continue developing my skills, gaining certifications, and applying for IT opportunities.

I have previous experience in areas such as engineering and laser cutting, and I am open to a wide range of work — including technical support roles, general labour, sales, or workplace support such as cleaning and maintenance. My priority is to remain productive, independent, and responsible while working toward my career goals.

Regardless of where I begin, my long-term plan remains clear: to continue building my professional path in IT and eventually grow independently within the field. I am determined to create opportunities for myself and to keep moving forward, because progress only happens when someone is willing to take the first step.

I believe that everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves, and I am committed to working hard when that opportunity comes.
