whoami — the short version

#intro#about#networking

$ whoami

Hey — I'm Giovanny JR Valerio, aka NetworkGio. I work with networks for a living and break things on purpose in my home lab so I don't break them at 2am in production.

The short bio

  • Studying for CCNA and stacking Linux fundamentals alongside it.
  • Comfortable in a CLI, happier in a CLI, will probably die in a CLI.
  • Currently obsessed with automation — if I've typed the same command three times, it's getting scripted.

What this site is

A working logbook. Three rooms:

  1. /study-notes — the stuff I'm actively learning, written for future-me.
  2. /ccna — chapter-by-chapter CCNA notes as I grind through the blueprint.
  3. /blog — lab write-ups, field notes, and the occasional rant about cable management.

Why publish it

Two reasons:

  • Writing forces me to actually understand a topic instead of just nodding at a YouTube video.
  • If a note here saves somebody a 2am incident or a re-take of an exam, that's a win — even if that somebody is just me, six months from now.

Stick around. More posts incoming.
