Day 0 – The Start of My Cybersecurity Journey

Well… hi.

I’m Tomaz, from Brazil. I’m currently pursuing two degrees: a Technologist in Systems Analysis and Development, and a Bachelor in Software Engineering. My ultimate goal has always been to work in Cybersecurity, but until recently I wasn’t sure how or when I’d make the move.

For a while, my plan was to just finish my degrees, then look for a specialization in Cybersecurity afterward. That’s still part of the plan, but now I’m taking it a step further.

The twist: I want to do this in Australia 🇦🇺

I’m preparing to move next year and take a VET course in Cybersecurity. It’s not 100% settled yet, but I’ve decided to commit to this path now. That means studying seriously, before I even leave Brazil.

Why this blog?

This blog is where I’ll share my progress as I study. Think of it as a public learning diary. I’ll post about:

• The concepts I’m learning

• Hands-on projects and labs

• Tools I’m testing

• And eventually, more advanced topics like SIEM, incident response, and cloud security

I’m also building a parallel documentation where I’ll organize everything in a more structured, technical format, sort of like a personal knowledge base.

If you’re reading this: hey, thanks for stopping by.
If no one’s reading this: that’s fine too. I’m writing this for future me anyway.

Let’s see how far I can take this.
