OBJECTIVE
I aspire for a warm and inspirational career where I may pursue my passion for the Information
Technology field, bringing an extensive amount of experience, a solid work ethic, and an instinct
to excel and be a part of the finest.
SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
Resourceful Computer Support Specialist
I possess a natural insight when it comes to resolving potential crises, and this helps to offer
magnificent customer service in a Help Desk environment. With a continuous escalation of
experience in all versions of Microsoft Windows since Windows 95, I have built a strong database
of knowledge with these OS’s, to include Mac OSX as well. I am fluently versed in MS DOS
Commands, HKey and Windows Registry, and am extremely efficient with all Microsoft Office
Products.
Articulate Systems Repair Technician
I pride myself in a strong work ethic, and patience when faced with technical issues, which helps
me to offer a very astringent and thorough regime to ensure that proper maintenance and repair
procedures have been carried out. I view a rejuvenated system, peripheral, or component as
finished art, a reflection not only of my integrity as a technician, but as a person as well. This has
driven me to immerse myself in the application of this branch, which has rewarded me with a
cornucopia of skills of this nature: PC/Mac Desktop/Laptop diagnosis, maintenance, and repair.
CMOS/BIOS Configuration, HDD reimaging, software load/test, upgrade/build.
Vigilant Network Security Enforcement
I studied hard in college to do well in this, the emphasis of my degree, and I don’t plan on letting
that go to waste. I was fortunate to have some of the best Instructors the Silicon Valley has to
offer in the Networking/Security subfields: Topology, IP, TCP/IP, UDP, IP Address/Subnet Protocol,
Hex/Binary Conversion, Data Backup and Disaster Recovery
