Ricky Vang
@rickyvang
IT Analyst and senior support professional who secures networks, automates operations, and solves complex incidents.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT Analyst with 13 years of Information Technology experience and a track record of working in fast-paced environments where business impact matters. I combine technical troubleshooting with clear documentation and strong communication to keep teams moving and users productive.
In my current role at Arete Technologies, I install and image computers, migrate user data and profiles, configure printers and peripherals, and support end-to-end IT operations. I prioritize business needs while monitoring systems and networks, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring security and efficiency across the IT infrastructure.
Previously, as a Senior IT Analyst at 20/20 Research and an IT Analyst at Lowes Corporation, I handled first- and second-level support, organized helpdesk ticketing via SysAid and ServiceNow, and worked with incident and change management. I supported Windows and Mac/iOS platforms, wrote automation with PowerShell workflow, and resolved networking issues involving TCP/IP, routers, WAPs, and VMware.
Alongside hands-on IT work, I’ve led operations as an Owner/Agency Director and brought finance and mortgage experience into my decision-making. I enjoy building structure—permissions, user accounts, security monitoring, and process documentation—so systems run reliably, problems get solved quickly, and quality standards are maintained.
