About this site
Welcome to Sandbox99.cc– a space where I share my IT journey, lessons learned, and practical insights. The tagline “Learning IT by Doing, Sharing What I Know” captures the essence of this blog. Every article here is based on my real-world experiences, reflecting what I’ve encountered, solved, and applied in my day-to-day IT work.
Why Sandbox99.cc?
This blog is my digital sandbox – a place to experiment, document, and share the knowledge I’ve gained from hands-on work, training, and personal projects. Unlike traditional resources that might focus on theory, I prefer to write about practical scenarios, offering genuine insights and lessons that others might find useful.
My Learning Journey
My knowledge comes from a blend of different experiences:
- 10% Certifications Training: Certifications have helped reinforce my practical knowledge and validate my skills. While I don’t rely solely on certifications, they provide structured learning and keep me aligned with industry standards.

- 70% Hands-On Experience: Most of what I share comes from real-world problem-solving in my job or personal projects. Troubleshooting servers, setting up DevOps pipelines, configuring networks, and deploying applications – it’s all part of my journey.
