Daniel Hawkins
@danielhawkins1
Actor and book writer with certified IT support skills and a production-ready mindset.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I combine creative work and technical support: I’ve had leading and supporting roles in feature films while also serving as a production assistant. I also write and publish novels under my pen name D. H. Jonathan, and I’ve written and published five novels while continuing to write, edit, and create.
On the IT side, I’m Microsoft- and CompTIA-certified, with experience as a Desktop and Mobile Device Technician and a Central Services Support Analyst. I troubleshoot and resolve application and device issues, administer Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory, and support networks using TCP/IP services like DNS, WINS, and DHCP—always with a focus on documentation and getting problems solved.
