What I'm looking for
As a dedicated IT professional with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, I have developed a robust foundation in systems administration, network infrastructure, and software troubleshooting. My experience spans both hardware and software solutions, allowing me to support business-critical systems and end users effectively. I pride myself on my strong work ethic and technical expertise, which I leverage to create secure and scalable IT environments.
In my role as a Freelance IT Consultant, I provide comprehensive technical support for desktops, networks, and printers, catering to both residential and small business clients. My hands-on experience includes malware remediation, system optimization, and the installation of NGINX reverse proxy and SSL certificates. Additionally, I have successfully deployed and secured self-hosted environments using various platforms, showcasing my ability to adapt and innovate in diverse IT landscapes.
Previously, as an IT Systems Administrator at Last Stop I.T.
