What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

My name is Tariq Solomon, and I am an aspiring IT technician with a strong foundation in software development and civil engineering. I have completed my BSc in Information Technology with a major in Software Development, and I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. My experience includes working as an IT Technician at Matrixwarehouse Computers, where I honed my skills in troubleshooting hardware and software, as well as providing excellent customer service.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a solid background in sales from my time at Beds 2go, where I developed strong communication and negotiation skills. I am proficient in various software applications, including Python, AutoCAD, and the Microsoft Office Suite. I am a self-starter with a logical approach to problem-solving and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
