About
I’m a practical, steady professional with hands-on experience building and repairing computers, providing IT support, and helping customers. I enjoy solving real problems clearly and calmly — whether it’s getting a system running again or walking someone through a fix.
After years of technical and customer-facing work, I’m looking for a steady part-time role with reasonable hours where reliability, clear communication, and practical technical skills matter. I’m available for flexible or part-time hours and ready to contribute in a focused way.
