Sandbox99 Chronicles

From My Sandbox to Yours — Practical IT Insights.

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.
  • 20% Bootcamps and Paid Training: I’ve invested in professional bootcamps and courses to fill knowledge gaps and stay up to date with evolving technologies. These trainings provide exposure to advanced concepts and new tools.
  • 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.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Practical IT Tutorials: Step-by-step guides and troubleshooting tips from personal experience.
  • DevOps Insights: Lessons on automation, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and more.
  • Cybersecurity Awareness: My perspective on security practices, hardening systems, and protecting data.
  • Career Reflections: Honest insights into certifications, bootcamps, and career growth in the IT industry.

A Note on Authenticity

I avoid writing about topics I haven’t experienced myself. If it’s on this blog, I’ve done it. You won’t find theoretical advice or recycled content here – only genuine stories, reflections, and actionable knowledge.
