Week 3 + Hello September 🍁

Diving into Security Fundamentals this week: wireless security, authentication, malware protection, social engineering & threat vectors.

4 months left in 2026. Locked in on coursework, CompTIA certs, my home lab & projects. 👨🏻‍💻

Wrapping up Week 2 of my IT & Cybersecurity program. 👨🏻‍💻

This week was more hands-on with operating systems, network configurations, and VM deployments.

Next week I’m grabbing a tripod to document more of the journey — between the desk and the beach. 🏝️

Everybody wants to talk about who's buying bitcoin.

Few want to talk about who's building Bitcoin.
