Nicholas Katich

My philosophy towards professional work has always been goal-driven and geared towards adaptation. I take pride in having an efficient problem solving approach, along with fine listening abilities, and refined critical thinking skills.

I am knowledgeable regarding computer hardware, software, networking, security, and troubleshooting in addition to being a quick learner with an adaptive mind. I have a knack for technical tasks and enjoy breaking problems down to their bare elements in order to gain a better understanding of possible solutions. I've never been afraid to take a deep breath and dive into a completely new profession or work environment. I'm a keen computing enthusiast and have been building my own machines for a while now, and I have a solid understanding of Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems in addition to hardware and software installation, networking, database management, patch application, security, debugging, and troubleshooting. More recently I have gained more knowledge of System Administration through my college courses and am proficient in networking, server configuration, network hardware/software configuration, subnetting, security, and troubleshooting.

Much of my technical and office experience was gained in the last 7 years of working in the Funeral Industry, a profession which places heavy emphasis on data collection, data entry, organization, paperwork management, customer services, and file maintenance. I was also the go-to source for tech and IT issues in the Funeral Home and gained a large amount of experience working in an office environment. Evolution is the fundamental key to intellectual and spiritual growth however and I decided that it would be best for myself and my family if I initiated the transition to a new career.

I am looking for a job where I can grow and learn and demonstrate to employers that I'm the right choice for the position. I hold an A+ certification and a Network+ certification from CompTIA. I am currently enrolled in Sierra College's Information Technology program with an emphasis on Information Security.

I would bring a level of professionalism and knowledge to this job that has been cultivated from years of hard work in an office environment. One which required a great degree of attention to detail along with very close working relationships with clients. It would be the perfect fit as I am a self-motivated workaholic and a professional and punctual team-player.

• My past and present job experience has taken me down many roads and I have refined my skillset to include customer service, certification as a computer technician, database management, state and county paperwork processing, working with the bereaved families of the deceased, product ordering and stocking, delivery driving, social media management, and community outreach.
