I’m looking for a remote or hybrid technical role that builds on my troubleshooting and networking background while helping me transition into cybersecurity, cloud support, IT operations, infrastructure support, or application support. I’m open to junior, entry-level, evening, weekend, on-call, and follow-the-sun roles in Canada.

Technical troubleshooter with 11+ years in telecom and network diagnostics, transitioning into cybersecurity, cloud support, and IT operations.
What I'm looking for
I have more than 11 years of experience troubleshooting complex telecommunications and network-related issues for Bell Technical Solutions / Bell Canada. My work has included fibre gateways, Internet, Wi-Fi, IPTV, telephony, customer equipment, service provisioning, technical validation, and detailed documentation.
I specialize in taking ambiguous problems, isolating the root cause, applying corrective actions, validating results, and documenting the outcome clearly. As an advanced escalation technician and official mentor, I also guided other technicians through difficult cases and translated complex technical problems into structured troubleshooting steps.
At Hydro-Québec, I installed and tested telecommunications infrastructure across substations, generating stations, and relay sites, working from technical plans, specifications, procedures, and test results.
I am now transitioning toward cybersecurity, cloud support, infrastructure operations, and application support. I am particularly interested in roles involving SOC operations, network security, incident response, IAM, cloud infrastructure, technical support, and systems monitoring. I am looking for an opportunity where I can apply my troubleshooting and networking experience while developing hands-on experience with modern security and cloud technologies.
