Hi, I'm Willie de Klerk. A tech guy.

I'm a proud South African. I mostly spend my time in the computer networks field of information technology.

Information About me

I got into networking by running as far away from objects and classes as I possibly could. If you've made it to the automation chapter in any networking text-book, you may find that funny.

Furthermore, a video created by Linus Sebastian back in his ncix days, served as a spark for my interest in computer networking. (YT NCIX ULTIMATE NAS). It featured the networking concept known as link aggregation. At the time of discovering this technology, I felt like a kid in a candy store.

I believe teamwork makes the dream work. Project success is often easier to obtain through horizontal scaling rather than through vertical scaling.

My Timeline

2023 - 2025

Student - Network Design & Administration SAQA ID 9127 - CTU Training Solutions (Potchefstroom)

During this time I have learned about various IT concepts. Notably, in my first year (2023), I learned that all people seem to need data processing. In my second year (2024), I learned to love oranges, as oranges mean pure refreshment. Third year is still in progress.
