About
I am a certified IT support specialist, developer, and analyst with more than 10 years of experience in the IT field. I currently work independently and provide my clients with a variety of services, including web development, cloud integration, remote support, and user training. My wide skill set allows me to diversify my daily projects, and I thrive on new and challenging endeavors. I am a creative problem solver, an excellent communicator, and a compassionate customer service provider. While I am content in my role as a freelancer, I enjoy collaborating with like-minded tech professionals and welcome the opportunity to join an organization with goals that align with my own.
