I have been in the IT business for more than 8 years now. I have worked as a Junior System Administrator in our very own small internet cafe. Back then I was the one responsible for hardware assembly, network design and software installation. My goal at the moment is to provide excellent technical consultation, service, support and management and to further enhance skills in Linux, Unix and Windows system administration for you or your company. I also have team lead experience and could also take basic project management. My strengths are in the operating systems (Linux and Windows), their applications and also hardware/software troubleshooting and customer service.
