Certifications

My path to authorship is paved with a unique blend of intellectual curiosity and global immersion. For decades, I've cultivated a passion for rigorous learning, particularly through the pursuit of IT industry certifications. This seemingly technical pursuit, beginning with my Certified Netware Engineer (CNE) in 1995, instilled in me a methodical approach to knowledge acquisition—a discipline that now underpins my narrative craft. It’s about understanding the intricacies of a subject from its very core, ensuring authenticity and depth in every word.
Beyond the structured learning, my horizons were dramatically expanded through travels to some 15 countries. Each journey, whether for project delivery or training, offered a glimpse into new cultures and confirmed a profound truth: the inherent kindness of people, no matter where you go. These experiences have enriched my understanding of the human condition, providing an inexhaustible source of inspiration for my writing.
