@Cybergez Python is great you can easily make a career out of automation

[Tremaine McAdams @TreyInTech]

Let’s talk about growth in tech! 👨‍💻

What certification or degree are you currently pursuing? Or what new skill are you working on learning?

I’m currently working toward my CCNA and spending as much time as possible labbing and strengthening my networking fundamentals.

What about everyone else? Let’s learn from each other! 👇

@AdaobiEche28693 Cyber got me interested in IT and cloud is awesome. Both are really great routes and I hope you find your niche.

[Tremaine McAdams @TreyInTech]

Technology is constantly evolving. New tools, protocols, platforms, and technologies can feel overwhelming.

But here’s the thing: the fundamentals of networking don’t change.

IP addressing, subnetting, routing, switching, and understanding how devices communicate are still the foundation of everything we build.

You can learn every new technology out there, but if you don’t understand how networks actually work, you’re missing the bigger picture.

Don’t just learn the latest technology. Learn the networking principles behind it. Those fundamentals will carry you through every new technology that comes next.

@Jacobmalherbe21 Literally! Understanding what OSPF is is one thing; knowing how to configure/unconfigure it and troubleshoot any routing issues is completely different. Same with ACLs, NAT, VLANs, etc. Much more than just knowing what a DHCP pool is and what a DNS server is.

[Tremaine McAdams @TreyInTech]

One thing studying for the CCNA has really opened my eyes to is just how many different paths there are in networking.

Routing, switching, wireless, security, automation, cloud infrastructure… there’s so much more to explore than I initially realized.

The more I learn, the more opportunities I see. And honestly, that’s what makes this journey exciting.

Still learning, still labbing, and just getting started. 🚀

What area of networking interests you the most?

[Tremaine McAdams @TreyInTech]

@Incitelabz I’ll be posting stuff like this more frequently 🫡

[Tremaine McAdams @TreyInTech]

🚀 My roadmap for breaking into Cloud Engineering:

1️⃣ Networking 🌐
Master TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, switching, DNS, DHCP, and OSPF. (CCNA)

2️⃣ Linux 🐧
Build a strong foundation in Linux administration, Bash, permissions, services, and system management. (RHCSA)

3️⃣ Automation & IaC ⚙️
Learn Python, PowerShell, Git, Ansible, Terraform, and infrastructure automation.

4️⃣ Cloud ☁️
Take those skills into AWS or Azure. Learn cloud networking, compute, storage, IAM, and infrastructure deployment.

The goal? Build a strong foundation before specializing.

One step at a time. One lab at a time. Always learning.

What’s your roadmap? 👇
