PROFILE

I am an experienced IT technician involved in aspects of network administration. I have worked as part of a team at an ISD, as well as worked as the sole IT administrator for an ISD and led a team. My passion for gaming, and technology in general led me to begin to further develop the coding knowledge I gained in college to produce bots, webpages and now mobile apps to help others along their journeys in various games. As I have taught myself most of what I needed to make these projects, I quickly can self-teach any needed technology issues.
