Hi, I'm Sona
I combine practical experience in networking, CCTV systems and technical troubleshooting with growing skills in web development and cybersecurity.
Current focus
At a glance
Curiosity became practical experience — then a career direction.
I have always been curious about how technology and systems work. From an early age, I enjoyed exploring technology, understanding how different systems functioned, and finding ways to solve technical problems. This curiosity gradually developed into a strong interest in Information Technology.
Practical Beginnings
My technical journey began through practical experience rather than formal education. From January 2023 to May 2026, I worked independently in CCTV installation, gaining hands-on experience with IP cameras, network cabling, network configuration, and DVR/NVR systems.
I particularly enjoyed diagnosing problems, understanding why a system was not functioning correctly, and finding practical solutions. Much of my technical knowledge was initially developed through self-directed learning, including online resources, AI-assisted learning, experimentation and practical problem solving.
Beginning Web Development
My interest in web development began when I created a digital wedding invitation website for my brother. I continued improving it as the wedding approached, which introduced me to designing, developing and maintaining a real digital project.
Why Information Technology?
IT combines the things I enjoy most: understanding systems, solving technical problems, learning new technologies and building practical solutions. My primary areas of interest are networking, web development and cybersecurity, with a long-term goal of becoming a professional Network and Cybersecurity Analyst.
