Summary

I am a dedicated and self-driven IT enthusiast with practical experience in technical support, web development, and troubleshooting. During my recent roles, I've gained hands-on skills in resolving hardware and software issues, maintaining backend systems, and supporting clients with their IT needs. My proactive approach is evident in my eagerness to learn new technologies independently, including Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript and C#. I thrive in roles where I can apply my technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, and I am wanting to take the next step in my IT career to further develop my knowledge and skills.
