Hello, I'm Nathan! I am a skilled NOC technician and recent JNCIA with a passion for networking. Currently, I am working on acquiring my CCNA utilizing resources such as my Cisco 2960 catalyst switch, Cisco ASA, GNS3, and YouTube course provided by Jeremy's IT lab (to assist with network design and implementation). My go-getter mentality drives me to succeed in this endeavor. Don't forget I have extended knowledge in Azure Networking, Linux, Javascript, and Python! I hope to show off my network automation scripts with you all soon! Furthermore, I have experience as a Junior Network Administration and have honed my skills for this position. I'm confident in my technical expertise, and my dedication to the field makes me a valuable asset to any team and I look forward to advancing my skills. I can't wait to show you my next Bit.
