What I'm looking for

I am looking for entry-level full-time remote roles in IT, focusing on DevOps, SysAdmin, Help Desk, or Cybersecurity Analyst positions, with a target wage of around $20/hr.

I am a motivated individual with a passion for technology and hands-on experience in troubleshooting, particularly within Windows environments. I am eager to begin my career in IT, bringing strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to continuous learning. Currently, I am expanding my knowledge of Linux/UNIX systems and programming through Coursera's Google IT Support Certificate program, which I believe will further develop my technical expertise.

My previous experience as an Apprentice Painter has instilled in me a strong work ethic and initiative. I have demonstrated my ability to handle prep work effectively and efficiently. I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to providing excellent technical support and customer service. I describe myself as a philomath, someone who loves to learn and obtain knowledge, which drives my ambition to excel in the IT field.
