Home Computing and Networking

My school system provided me with enough sources and teaching though senior year that general computing is 2nd nature.


During the time i spent at JCC i spent two years learning early 1990's computing such as Basic (language) programming, though has not been implemented enough to retain, and actual full operation of old systems, such as Zenith, Texas Instruments and IBM.


My Home computing consists of Windows OS up to version 10, SOME linux distributables like Ubuntu and so on. 

Lastly, I am home learning IP based security systems, cameras recorders etc etc.


"Note: Also side-line as an "IRL Streamer".... that isnt the important part, but i have had to learn Open-source Broadcast Studio which includes layouts, transitions, video and audio management and production.

Additional Information

I have lived and worked on MDI for 25 "ish" years as of 2020 had gotten diagnosed with stage 4 cancer which ended up changing how i live and work. Where i have been a manual laborer for the majority, that's the main part of my work experience, at the same time have been managing staff, crew, inventories, been a customer sales associate for several years throughout and was even the mailman back in 1999 for SWH, Tremont, Bass Harbor and Seal Cove.


My goal in seeking this job personally, is to re-integrate into the working society in a safer, cleaner environment, utilizing my other abilities.


My inter-personal skills are very good, i get along with most anybody, i TRY to stay out of co-worker politics as much as possible, I am at home in the back store-room as well as I am out in front on the sales floor.
