What I'm looking for

I'm looking to move deeper into network security and solutions engineering, building on my technical support, systems administration, and enterprise field service experience.

At Shopify, I provided Level 2 support to merchants, resolving storefront, payment, account, and integration issues. I handled 150+ issues monthly while meeting a 98% SLA.

I investigated complex problems with browser developer tools and log inspection, then documented findings and escalated issues with reproduction steps. I also worked with REST API calls and payment gateway setup to connect third-party apps and integrations.

At Xerox, I configured WAN connectivity, IP addressing, firewalls, and network devices for enterprise and government clients. Root-cause analysis and a process improvement reduced repeat service calls by 20% for a key account.

As Development Programs Specialist at Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, I administered Microsoft 365 and SharePoint across 12 programs. I built Excel trackers and reporting, and introduced workflows that reduced repetitive administrative work. I'm pursuing Fortinet certification and expanding my AWS and AI skills as I move deeper into network security and solutions engineering.
