Jason Learner
Good Sunday morning my fellow techies, my name is Jason Learner, (self referential name I know) it’s nice to meet any of you who have seen my articles before. Or any new people who join me on this journey, I have in some way or another been exposed to IT my whole life. And I love blending my knowledge to help others learn about this fabulous tool that enriches our world.
What is my guiding principle and reason for doing this? I admit that a lot of this is selfishly motivated. But starting a blog like this keeps me honest with myself and keeping to full deadlines and projects that I have set up for myself. It greatly however helps me to distill the knowledge I’m learning and hopefully might help someone to get equal or better results than I did. One of my ethos is to get my hands dirty, and often enough this manifests itself for me to do things the hard way. As a tech professional I need to be thorough but also efficient when and where I can. But the path to mastery often involves (sometimes requires) that we go the long road and find our way to the destination. And I think when it comes down to it, that’s the ultimate goal for why I’m doing this. Mastery not only for myself, but for the community I’d like to build.
A few years ago I started this journey and had a few blog article posts that I did that didn’t go anywhere because the follow through that I did, or rather didn’t do wasn’t apparent in that project. This year though my aim is to change that, I’m keeping myself to a simple schedule of publishing a blog article every Sunday by 6 pm. On top of that I will be doing a monthly stream on Twitch and upload to YouTube. Both these forms will be channels for me to keep making my voice and audience known. But to also in some way or another work on the projects that I’ve set out for myself. To not only chart them but to also follow through with them and to continue to grow.
What topics will I address in these posts? Well that’s the great thing about these types of articles they can be about anything I like. But most of what I’m focusing on is building projects for home-lab purposes it’s to continue to learn more things about networking. The other goal is to eventually get to the point where I can master a set of skills and experiences to be a security researcher. Career wise I’m focusing on becoming and learning this year to be a system administrator. That’s the thing I suppose that comes from aiming for an end goal of a specialized role there’s a lot of steps from now until then that will lead me to that place. And a lot to learn and improve on. So in the future my eventual article stream will cover topics concerning home lab projects, to coding, and deconstruction of binaries and reverse engineering. It really could be anything really…I’m currently working on completing the Free Code Camp course with Full-stack development being a goal and having that be another level up skill.
For now my fellow pilgrims this is what I’m keeping myself to every week, I already mentioned my blog deadlines. But I will be doing my streams every 4th of the month, with some adjustments if needed for personal days or holidays. For now welcome to the journey, and the world we will create together.
