What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an IT role where I can support end users, troubleshoot confidently, and grow into network administration. I want hands-on work with real infrastructure—labs or certification support included—and a team that values reliability and learning.

I’m an IT Technician with a strong foundation in hardware support, networking, and system configuration. I’ve worked hands-on installing operating systems, troubleshooting technical issues, configuring networks, and building Ethernet cables, with a proven ability to diagnose and resolve problems independently while supporting end users.

I’m currently expanding my network administration expertise through certification and lab-based practice, including DHCP, DNS, and system management. Alongside IT work, I bring a structured, people-first approach from teaching—creating engaging lessons and building projects like a personal website using HTML and a Python project for lambda calculations.
