Public CV

As far as I can remember, the dream job has always centered around Information Technology. Nearly everything in the modern world relies on I.T. from basic printers to complex inter-continental sets of communication networks (internet). Due to this simple fact I have prided myself on ensuring that all networks and systems he works with are efficient, secured, and integral to the overall workings of their surroundings. This includes his own personal 'homelab' as well as work site infrastructure. When security counts, you can always count on me giving the maximum to ensure everything runs smoothly. I can be reached at the email in the qrcode! I am also looking to get hired so shoot your shot.

Work History

Protos Security

This consisted of monitoring sites across the country for 200+ individual buildings(Both Fortune 500 and small businesses). This included internal and external alarms. Perimeter observation played a key part in ensuring that the property was free of any unlawful activity. Quick response time is needed when dealing with the high volume throughout the night.

RCPS

Summer intern for Roanoke City Public Schools. I helped format and maintain devices of RCPS. Setting up the needed infrastructure was one of the main priorities. A significant portion required coordination of different sites in order to properly distribute equipment.
