JamaicaWhat I'm looking for
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.
