IT specialist

Hello! Thanks for stopping by :). My name is Ricardo and on this site you can find more information about me and my interests. You can check out my projects section to see my past and current projects. Resume is in my resume page. Also please feel free to connect with me on Git or Linkedin.

About Me:

My beginning:

My journey of tech began when I was little, watching my parents take apart computers for maintenance. As I grew older I was always fascinated how computers "just works". Around the age of 11 I recieved my first laptop. Still remember running windows xp/7 and downloading things I probably shouldn't have... Then at 13 buying my first set of computer parts and assembling them with my uncle who inspired me to dive deeper into computers. From that point on I learned to love researching and troubleshooting. This all drove me to pursue a job in IT.

Professional/education:

I am a student in Computer Science and Information Systems looking to graduate by December 2024. Currently working as a JR. Network Technician for SWBoces for Westchester. During my day to day operations we handle tickets for clients needing technical assistance. This ranges from password resets, hardware or software troubleshooting, working in Google admin console or Active directory. In my school studies we're learning about things from different operating systems and how they interact with the hardware. Programming languages and how they've developed. Security implementations and security awareness.

Personal:

Apart from work and school studies, personal hobbies/activities include gaming, going to the gym, or working on personal projects. I like to dip my hands in all things tech so alot of my personal projects can be seen in the projects page where I show things from building VM servers to setting up this very site.
