About
I am a tech enthusiast with a Master's in Computer Science and Information Systems, a Bachelor's in CS, and a genuine passion for technology. Outside of my degrees, I have always been drawn to hands-on problem solving. Whether I am troubleshooting my own custom desktop PC or working on cars, I enjoy figuring out how mechanical and technical systems work and keeping them running smoothly. This natural curiosity makes it easy for me to pick up new software and technical workflows on the fly. My best selling point is my ability to bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and the everyday user. My background in customer-facing roles paired with my academic insights has made "tech-to-non-tech translation" my greatest strength. I am adept at staying calm under pressure, managing busy digital queues, and explaining technical solutions in a way the end-user can understand. I am looking to bring my analytical mindset and troubleshooting skills to a structured IT Support, Systems Analyst, or Technical Operations role where I can focus on solving daily challenges and ensuring a smooth user experience. Core Skills & Focus Areas: - Hardware & Systems: Custom PC configuration, component-level diagnostics, hardware and software maintenance, device setup, peripheral support. - Analysis & Documentation: Requirements gathering, system analysis, technical documentation, and user interface wireframing. - Operations & Workflow: Digital queue management, data flow basics, risk awareness, technical communication, Agile.
