Hello! I’m Luke Evans, I am Canadian, I’ve been working in Networking and IT for over 15 years both in enterprise and ISP environments working as a NOCC tech and as a Network Analyst. I got interested in IT when our family got Computer that could connect to the Internet where I learned how to replace parts, reinstall windows, I got interested in Networking in high school when I took my first cisco course followed up going to college for a Network Professional program.
I have my CCNA, and I passed the ENCOR exam in the process of studying for the ENASRI exam.
I plan on posting explaining some CCNA subject level stuff, stuff I’m working on and studying such as labs etc. I might post some of the troubleshooting labs for some fun. I know the Cisco training badges don’t mean anything but I have no where else to show them off so I’m going to post them here!
(All my posts on this site are 100% my own, I’m not an expert in any subject, I will not be using AI unless I say this is from AI)
