What I'm looking for

I am looking for a 95% to 100% remote position in which I can use my network and IT infrastructure expertise to help an organization make the world better in some way. I look forward to expanding my cybersecurity experience as the importance of good cybersecurity continues to grow, and I would like to be able to share basic cybersecurity skills (e.g. antiphising) with everyone in the organization.

With over twenty-three years’ IT experience, I have accumulated a lot of experience and wisdom to offer. I am a resourceful problem solver with an eye for detail and a knack for understanding computer systems; my troubleshooting instincts and research skills help me to quickly find the solution to most problems. I follow industry and vendor best practices to do the job right and support the organization and its customers in the best way possible.
I am seeking a position where I can use my networking and systems administration and cybersecurity expertise to leave the company, it staff, its customers, and the world a better place.
