I support users, secure networks, and maintain computer systems across hardware, software, and operating environments.
What I'm looking for
I’ve supported computer systems and network devices at Techcastle Solutions, handling hardware repairs, antivirus and firewall upgrades, testing, technical documentation, and customer proposals.
Previously, I delivered end-user support at Gilda Solutions, Info Point Cyberdome, and Capslock IT Services. My work included troubleshooting, operating-system deployments, data recovery, LAN/WAN setup, peripheral connectivity, and explaining technical issues clearly to users.
I also bring digital marketing and property-agent experience, including campaign execution, market research, comparative market analysis, property listings, and advertising. I’m focused on using clear communication and practical technical skills to improve customer satisfaction and resolve technology challenges.
