Hey there, fellow tech aficionados. I’m Justin, your friendly neighborhood IT wizard with a knack for turning IT or network troubleshooting into an art form. You can call me the Captain of Connectivity, the Sultan of Switches, or just plain ol’ Justin – whichever floats your packet boat.
Let’s Dive Into the Fun Stuff:
You know, I’ve spent over 8 years diving deep into the mystical realms of large campus and enterprise networks. From LANs to WANs, and even the occasional wireless dance-off, I’ve seen it all.
When I’m not untangling virtualized nightmares or charming routers into behaving, you might catch me indulging in some professional networking (the human kind, not just the TCP/IP kind). With my meticulous project management skills and a touch of technical wizardry, I’ve been known to weave dreams out of CAT cables and dreams.
Skills to Pay the Bills:
- Networking: TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, OSPF, EIGRP – you name it, I’ve probably troubleshooted it.
- Security: I keep networks safer than a dragon hoarding its gold, with skills in Meraki MX, Cisco Firepower, SonicWall, and more.
- Software: I speak the language of Meraki Dashboard, SolarWinds, and the entire Microsoft Office Suite – with an accent sometimes.
- Hardware: Cisco Nexus, Catalysts, and everything in between – I’ve tinkered with them all.
Certifiably Awesome:
- CCNA certified, with more badges in progress than a scout troop at a jamboree. Currently on my journey to become CCNP ENCOR 350-401 certified, navigating through the clouds of studying and spinning up labs every day with determination and focus.
- CompTIA A+ certified, because I like my hardware like I like my dad jokes – solid and reliable.
Educational Adventures:
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems – because who needs sleep when you can fill your brain with so much information you start thinking in binary?
- Associate of Arts in Business/Technology – because even tech wizards need a bit of business savvy. Soft skills are important, they say.
Professional Chronicles:
- Currently rocking the role of Network Administrator at 2020 Exhibits – where every day is an adventure in various technologies.
- Previously dazzled as an IT Technical Specialist at Susman Godfrey, where I made sure things were running as smooth as butter.
- Pioneered the path as a NOC Analyst at Netsync Network Solutions, allying with IT Gods and battling network demons for Managed Services. Fun stuff!
Side Quests and Random Encounters:
- Freelance IT Consultant by night, swooping in to save the day when networks go boom with blinking lights. Spreading IT magic wherever I roam.
In Conclusion:
So there you have it – a glimpse into the life of your friendly neighborhood IT guy. Whether it’s slaying network dragons or charming routers with my dulcet tone (Often singing lullaby’s before I leave everyday), I’m always up for an adventure and challenge. My journey is just beginning!
