About

I'm Ross da Costa, a lifelong tech enthusiast, gaming hobbyist, and a self-proclaimed car whisperer. Ever since I could sneak into the garage with a Psp in one hand and a screwdriver in the other, I've been hooked on all things that beep, blink, and vroom.

Why I chose IT

My reasoning

The reasons I chose IT

I feel fortunate to have always known what career I wanted to pursue from a young age. My IT journey has been an interesting one, filled with experiences ranging from accidentally destroying multiple computers to getting in trouble for taking things apart that I shouldn’t have. I've always been fascinated by how things work and how they’re put together. Naturally, I couldn’t resist taking them apart, much to the dismay of my parents.

But here we are. Looking back, I’m thankful for those moments when curiosity got the better of me. It has brought me a long way.

1 - My Older Brother

My older brother has always been an inspiration to me, and from a young age, I was captivated by his computer and the cool-looking lights. Ever since, I’ve always known what I wanted to do: follow in his footsteps.

2 - Gaming

Gaming has been a significant part of my life, fueling my love for technology and problem-solving. Through gaming, I developed critical thinking skills, teamwork, and a passion for challenges, all of which have greatly influenced my journey into IT.

3 - Curiosity and Passion

Curiosity has always driven me to explore how things work, leading to a deep passion for technology and innovation. This relentless curiosity, combined with my passion for learning, has shaped my journey and continues to inspire me to push boundaries and discover new possibilities.
