What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level network role (Network Technician/NOC/IT Support) with mentorship, chances to grow technical skills, and a collaborative, production-focused team.

I am a detail-oriented, technically driven professional transitioning into network engineering with hands-on lab and small-business experience. I design and document network environments, configure IP addressing, VLANs, DHCP, and perform systematic troubleshooting using Packet Tracer and Wireshark.

My background includes operating technology-driven inspection systems, supporting production-critical company networks, and coordinating multi-technician infrastructure projects. I bring practical experience maintaining routers, switches, wireless access points, Windows systems, and basic Linux practices.

I communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, prioritize documentation and change management, and seek an entry-level Network Technician, NOC Technician, or network-focused IT support role where I can grow professionally and contribute to reliable network operations.
