Introduction:

A bubbly personality is what you will find when you get to know me. There are many things that peak my interest and I find a good general knowledge is a man’s best friend. There is nothing worse for me than walking into a conversation that I know nothing about. I take pride in my work and always push to be the best. Although perfection is hard to come by, it is not necessarily a bad thing to give it your all. I have worked at many places before as you shall see below. All of them inspiring and teaching me different things towards a bigger goal. I like to explore different avenues of life and find it to be smart to know your way around many things. Many would use the phrase: “Jack of all trades, master of none.” I tend to think that exploring different options until you find what you love is a healthy way of approaching life, especially in this day and age where work is hard to come by, that said:

I have indeed found my niche in several areas, I.T, Teaching and Music to name a few. I am an avid gamer and absolutely love technology and the Internet. It’s a great place to explore things I would not know otherwise and keeps me up to date with the ever-progressing Technology industry. Gaming on its own has taught me much in regards to Designing, Creation, Creativity and most of all I.T itself. A knack for I.T on the other hand is something I believe I was born with. I absolutely adore exploring systems and find it to be quite unique and entertaining. I.T I believe, is an ever growing industry with a million possibilities. I have dabbled in coding, helpdesk support, Hardware, Software, Analytics and error reports. I have designed and built servers as well as many a gaming PC from scratch! I started studying various programming languages recently and find it quite invigorating. My focus being C#, SQL and Visual Studio… I closely following companies like Valve, Epic games, Microsoft, Google and AMD as they provide many a platform for someone like myself to go and explore their Gaming Engines as well as to let the creative juices take direction and turn into something truly remarkable! I am a hard-working “go getter” that loves a challenge and strives to be the best at what I do. There is no reason to take something on if you don’t intend to do it like a pro. There is a learning curve to any job regardless of the field and I am more than willing to participate and learn as I go, all the while implementing what I already know and learned along the way. I am open-minded and love to hear others opinions. Knowledge is power. The more you know, the more you can accomplish. Work hard and prosper! Please find my relevant info attached.

(Due to theft in the past, Certificates and other accomplishments can be sent on request) Thank you for you time!

Kind Regards

Calvin
