I troubleshoot and administer end-user IT systems across Windows, macOS, Linux, and cloud productivity tools.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I'm pivoting into Canadian IT support after building hands-on experience in network setup, systems administration, hardware troubleshooting, and end-user support.
As Lead Technical & Administrative Assistant for a private household in Rio de Janeiro, I administered Windows systems and supported a small household network. At Salta Finance, I built IT infrastructure and a MySQL database from the ground up as Co-Founder, Partner, and Director of IT and Logistics.
I've strengthened my technical foundation through CompTIA A+, the Google IT Support Professional Certificate, NPower Canada's Junior IT Analyst Program, Linux System Administrator Certification, and a diploma in Database Administration. I support users across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS and work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
