SUMMARY The core of my experience comes from a broad knowledge of hardware, software, and networking
technologies that enables me the ability to offer a powerful combination of analysis, implementation, and support. I have
familiarities in system and network administration, hardware evaluation, project management, network security, as well as
incident analysis and recovery. I intend on gradually progressing these skillsets with an organization that can provide
room for growth and maturation in the IT or Program Management sector.
