About Me

Hey there! My name is Kailey, and I’m from the United States, where I live with my fiancé, our two exceptionally chubby cats, and two energetic, goofy golden retrievers. We’re currently planning our wedding for August, and it’s an exciting time in our lives! For the past 12 years, I’ve worked full-time as a licensed insurance sales agent. Outside of work and school, I love road-tripping, hiking, and kayaking—especially when I can bring my dogs along for the adventure.

Although my professional background is in insurance, I’ve always had a passion for technology. As a kid, I loved taking apart computers just to see how they worked, and over time, that curiosity grew into a broader interest in things like coding, web design, and tech troubleshooting. Now, I'm pursuing a degree in Cyber and Data Security, with a particular interest in ethical hacking or digital forensics. I'm excited to further my knowledge and dive deeper into the world of technology, and I hope with my blog, you learn something new, too!

Applications have gone from running on massive mainframe computers to living in the cloud today. They remain closely tied to the foundational IT principles of input/output, software architecture, networking, and programming logic. We witness a modern take on decades of computer science advancement each time we tap an app. Hardware Still Matters    Even though apps seem simple, they rely on essential hardwar...

A day in my life; Week 2

An everyday normal day in my life:  1. Go to my job – I spent a good portion of my day handling tasks related to my job in insurance. This included responding to client inquiries, updating policy details, and ensuring coverage accuracy. It's always busy, but I enjoy the challenges it brings and meeting new people. 2. Took the dogs for a walk – I took my two golden retrievers for a walk when I get out of work. It’s not only good for them but also gives me a mental break and a chance to enjoy some fresh air. 3. Cooked dinner – Most nights I prepared a home-cooked meal. It’s usually fairly simple, but I find cooking to be a relaxing and rewarding task, especially after a long day. 4. Work on marketing material – I spent some time creating and refining marketing content aimed at attracting new clients. This included writing a few posts for social media to promote myself. 5. Watch some of a series on Netflix – After a long day, I end my day by watching a few episodes of a seri...
