With extensive experience in the IT industry, I have worked as a Turn-up Engineer and IT support technician for businesses in the Tampa Bay area. I've also worked as an Installer, Network Engineer, and Manager of Customer Engineering. My current certifications include CCST, CCNA, Linux+, and AWS Cloud Practitioner. I also serve as the lead contact for the Cisco Networking Academy at the college. I specialize in teaching CCNA-level and advanced-level networking courses at the college, including those that focus on network automation and network security.
