What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic environment where I can apply my technical expertise and leadership skills.

I am an IT professional with over 8 years of experience in network infrastructure, system administration, and educational technology. My journey has taken me from being the Head of the IT Department to a College IT Instructor, where I lead technical teams and optimize IT systems to enhance operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging technology for innovation and problem-solving, and I strive for organizational excellence in every project I undertake.

Throughout my career, I have developed and delivered expert-level training on Cisco networking technologies, preparing students for CCNA certification through hands-on labs and theoretical instruction. I have also designed and implemented complex IT infrastructures, including multi-domain Active Directory environments and campus-wide network architectures. My commitment to continuous professional development ensures that I remain current with industry trends and technologies, allowing me to mentor students effectively and guide them in their career paths.
