During my time working as school volunteer IT, I installed cameras and converted used computers into functional testing stations for compTIA certification tests. Additionally, I set up a monitoring system for the test administrator to observe and adjust camera positions. In this role, I was responsible for configuring switches, firewalls, routers, and printers, as well as other miscellaneous equipment to ensure smooth operations. Through volunteer work, I further honed my technical skills, working extensively with both Linux and Windows environments, including Windows Server 2019. I also gained hands-on experience managing group policy, creating accounts, and administering Active Directory.
