What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my IT skills in a dynamic environment, with a focus on career growth and continuous learning.

Currently employed at LAN Logix, I excel in diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues, ensuring improved customer experience and satisfaction. My strong technical skills include installation and configuration of operating systems, Microsoft Office 365, and cloud services management.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust understanding of network and connectivity support, server management, and helpdesk operations. I thrive in both independent and team settings, demonstrating initiative and a structured approach to problem-solving. My ability to present complex solutions clearly has been instrumental in my success in various roles, including my previous positions at XEON Holdings and ID Logistics.
