About Me

Entry-level IT professional with practical experience supporting end users and maintaining systems in client-facing technical support roles. I work across Linux, Windows and Mac environments diagnosing hardware and software faults, resolving connectivity issues, and keeping servers and workstations running reliably.

Proficient with Active Directory, Windows Server, networking fundamentals, and remote support via SSH. I have supported and administered Microsoft 365 environments, handling user management, mailbox configuration, and resolving M365-related issues.

STADIO certified across Windows Server, Azure, and Microsoft 365. Additionally experienced in full-stack web development using React and Node.js, with a strong understanding of how web systems are built and deployed. I prioritize clear communication and thorough resolution of technical issues for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
