Currently, I serve as a System Engineer at Smart Solution CPA, where I configure and monitor firewalls, manage antivirus solutions, and ensure compliance with security standards. My expertise in threat analysis and incident response has enabled me to effectively protect client environments from cyber threats.

Previously, I led a team of IT support specialists at Basecamp Data Solution, where I honed my leadership skills while ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction. My technical competencies include server management, cloud solutions, and advanced troubleshooting, which I have developed over years of experience in various IT roles across different organizations. I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest technology trends to provide the best solutions for my clients.
