About

I am a passionate network engineer with a high level of experience providing clients with dedicated support and durable solutions. I pride myself on understanding my clients needs and expectations. Using my military background I thrive in stressful environments and I approach high pressure situations with a cool head and measured approach to a resolution. I am hardworking and dedicated and my approach to my career is one of constant self improvement and redefining what the role of network engineer means in a changing modern world. While I identify with computer networking as my area of expertise I strive to work towards understanding all facets of IT on my journey towards becoming a full stack engineer.
