What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my IT skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative solutions and opportunities for professional growth.

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. Solutions, I designed and maintained IT infrastructure for small to medium businesses, implementing Docker-based deployments and managing customer onboarding under an MSP framework. My commitment to excellence in incident response and server hardening has consistently resulted in improved uptime and security for my clients.
