Hello There!

I'm Alexander Örn I'm a Techie Lives in Iceland

I am a networking and tech enthusiast based in Iceland.

  • Networking
  • Gaming
  • Tech implementation

My main focus is networking related projects. I'm always up for a challenge having to learn new skills to be able to do what I'm trying to complete. I'm very intersted in learning about new technologies and implementing them in my daily routine. My hobbies consist of finding new ways to improve my digital life and trying out new things in the tech field. I'm an avid video game enthusiast and have been all my life, I like spending a good saturday playing something new with my friends.

Currently I am working my way into the networking world after spending the past years working as a workshop manager in an electrician firm along with fiddling a bit with the electrician side of things. I am working towards the CCNA certification as of now and plan on specializing in an undecided cert from Cisco.

I grew up playing with computers and spent much of my teenage years playing video games as is becoming ever more common. I got my first touch of networking back in elementary school when I started hosting game servers for me and my friends, having to configure the router in my home to allow all those incoming connections.
