An enthusiastic IT Systems / Infrastructure Engineer with skills in operating, troubleshooting and maintaining all aspects of technology and computer systems. I learn quickly and provide logical thought to evidence gathering, documents and action log reporting.I have been involved with computers from an early age, not only using them but repairing, building and incorporating them in complex systems. I consider this a passion, my life and a job combined.From initial employment in mainly domestic computer repairs and installation, my career has developed into the commercial/enterprise sector. This experience has a proven track record which is well respected and trusted.I provide high IT technical proficiency and network skills and combine these with logical thought processes to resolve issues.I can work on my own or with a team/project group or 3rd party support services. When passing information on to others I always ensure it is detailed, easy to understand and includes all other relevant data that might be required. Training others either 1 on 1 or in a group session is not a problem, I like to make it fun as well as informative. I am often looked at as a natual leader and use this to help others.Perfection is something I aim to achieve, knowing when to spend extra time on a task or not is an important skill of mine. I plan for the future on how a process can be improved, this can benefit not only myself but also others and is a key factor when I consider spending that little extra time.I am always improving my skills in my own home server lab and keep up to date by reading various news and information websites. I like to take part in early release testing in many different areas of tech (alpha / betas for software or hardware). I am keen to discuss tech news with others around me and always try to take a natural stance no matter my own opinions.SKILL AREAs...• Detailed Documentation / Action Logs / Design Flow Diagrams.• Multi Operating Systems Support.• Applications / Software Operations.• End-User Services and Support.• Communications / Firewalls / Networks.• Virtualization / Physical Hardware.• Multi-Cloud Operations and Services.• Troubleshooting / Diagnostics.• Optimization / Clean-up.• Cost Savings / Comparison Analysis.• Backups / Disaster Recovery Plans.• Monitoring / Re-active / Pro-active.• Security / Baselines / Best Practices.• & more...
