Summary

At the age of 10 I successfully assembled my first computer, by 12 I was learning about and operating complex video live-streaming and sound systems, and by 14 I was overseeing and training a team of volunteers on those same systems. Fast forward a couple of years and im designing audio visual systems for a separate church as I direct and coordinate their AV team. At that church I executed several major upgrades, ran hundreds of feet of cable, and documented everything in the process. At the same time I was an intern at OverclockedIT where I assisted in installing RMM and security tools on client's workstations, and at XTK systems where I took apart and rebuilt over 100 desktop computers and servers. After High School I started working full time at Opt4 Group where I have been provisioning videoconferencing devices, assisting on the back end with conference room installs and troubleshooting, assisting with the design and implementation of commercial audio systems, and assisting with the design and installation of mesh wifi networks.
