Ever since the age of 5, I have a passion for computers and an insane compulsion to make and fix things. My first computer at age 6 was an Oric 1, which I use to program my own games and applications on, and I haven't really stopped fiddling since.
I am awfully good at troubleshooting and I also have an uncanny knack of knowing how to fix most things computer related, even if I’ve never seen it before. I'm also able to learn new systems very fast.
I’m enthusiastic, pretty much down to earth and an excellent addition to any IT related team, from network engineering to user support. I can be a team leader, and I believe that good team moral is a force to an excellent unit of technicians.
As I have recognised a gap in my certifications (despite my 15 years experience) I am currently studying for an Interconnecting Cisco Networking ICND1 v2 Cert and a MCSE: Server Infrastructure 2012 Cert.
I recently did a VMware vSphere: Fast Track (
5.5) (
VMWAREFT55) course and a Checkpoint Firewall Administration Course.
