Hello Everyone!

I'm Aniket Purushottam Kathode, studying my B.Tech in Computer Science and Information Technology. I'm an enthusiast for open source technologies and highly respect Red Hat's contribution to enterprise-level Linux as well as cloud-native solutions.

I've just passed my Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) and am currently studying for the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE). I'm particularly keen on building up my skills in Linux system administration, Ansible automation, containerization with Podman and Docker, and Kubernetes orchestration.

What I enjoy most about Red Hat courses is that they're hands-on and practical in learning — they're not all theory, but rather geared towards actual problems you'll encounter in the field.

A little-known fact about me: I enjoy deconstructing intricate subjects into simplified explanations, and I conduct mini knowledge-sharing forums with colleagues to learn together.

Thrilled to join this community and eager to share and learn more with you all

Hello everyone,

My name is Amine, and I’m currently a cybersecurity engineering student based in Casablanca, Morocco.

During my first two years of study, I focused on foundational fields like system administration and networking, which helped me build a strong technical base. I have a growing interest in Red Hat technologies and the open source ecosystem, and I’ve been enhancing my skills through courses in the Red Hat Academy.

My goal is to become a skilled cybersecurity professional who can contribute effectively to securing IT environments and promoting open source solutions. Looking forward to connecting and learning with you all!
