@juanlobo
I resolve IT issues and build practical hybrid cloud environments.
What I'm looking for
I support local Costa Rican and remote clients as a freelance IT Support Technician, resolving 80–90% of requests on first contact without escalation.
I've completed 50+ OS installations and full data restorations with a zero data-loss record, while improving client system performance by 30–50% through startup, service, and disk optimisation. I manage end-to-end Zendesk tickets, maintain documentation for 40+ recurring clients, and provide remote support through RDP, TeamViewer, and AnyDesk.
I've expanded beyond desktop support by building a hybrid cloud home lab with Microsoft Azure, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, AWS, Windows Server, backup and recovery, and hybrid identity management.
I'm fluent in English and Spanish and use Costa Rican Sign Language (LESCO) as a community volunteer interpreter. I enjoy making technology approachable, automating repetitive work with PowerShell, and continuously learning through hands-on labs, documentation, certifications, and practical projects.
