Breaking Into IT: My Journey Begins 🚀

Hey there! I'm Marcus (Randon McCrea), and I'm on a mission to break into the IT industry and master technology. Whether you're a career changer, an aspiring IT pro, or just curious about tech, I invite you to join me on this journey!

I started this blog as a place to document what I'm learning--from CompTIA A+ to cybersecurity, cloud security, and networking. I realized that the best way to reinforce knowledge is to teach it, so I'll be sharing key lessons, troubleshooting experiences, and hands-on experiments here.

What You Can Expect

✔ Lessons from my IT studies – Breaking down complex topics into simple explanations

✔ Practice questions & troubleshooting walkthroughs – So you can learn along with me

✔ Real-world skills & projects – How I’m applying what I learn in cybersecurity, cloud security, and networking

✔ Job-readiness tips – What I’m doing to prepare for a career in IT

Where I'm Starting

Right now, I’m studying for the CompTIA A+ certification (1101 & 1102) while also diving into IAM security, cloud best practices, and networking fundamentals. Every day, I’m learning something new—sometimes through study guides, hands-on practice, or even troubleshooting real tech issues.
