BIO
For the next stage in my career, I am working on programming and web development because between the technical challenges presented by Covid-19 and an ever increasingly connected world, these are skills many companies will need going forward.
Currently I am working on setting up a server with Open Media Vault and Docker. I have just started a Github which will include full documentation and thought process for the install. This will allow you to see my thought process for a project.
In addition to my networking and hardware skills, I also have experience and education in web development. I am proficient at building simple and complex websites in the area of responsive web development.
The worst and best thing about me is my willingness not to give up and my passion about what I do in life.
I am a person that likes to help people succeed at what they want to do.
With technology, there is always something new to learn. Through helping others I am able to learn about and operate new and legacy technologies.
