Skills Profile

1. Systems Administration: Throughout my course, my time working in NSCC's data center, and previous experience, I have become an extremely confident Windows administrator. I have also become a confident and competent Linux admin.

2. Scripting: My background in web development and programming has lead me to also become a very strong scripter. In the past year, I have adopted PowerShell for Windows management and have written several scripts ranging from core Windows control, to iDRAC management, automation, Azure VM management, and more.

2. Work as a team leader: I have been using this skill professionally for nearly a decade in management positions ranging from building management, to team-lead, to 6 years of experience in retail management.

4. Mentoring/Teaching: I have always enjoyed teaching and mentoring and I do this quite regularly at NSCC, helping other students with projects and assignments.

5. Inspiring Trust: I have always been viewed by my peers and superiors as someone who is quite trustworthy because I am punctual, complete work on time (or more often before it) and practice thorough work habits.
