Keeping the network connected, fast and trouble-free
Network technician with six years installing, configuring and supporting LAN, WAN and wireless networks for businesses across Bristol. Sets up switches, routers, firewalls and access points, troubleshoots connectivity and performance issues, and keeps networks running reliably for hundreds of users. Led a wireless network upgrade that eliminated dead spots and complaints across a multi-floor office. Monitors network health, patches and maintains hardware, manages cabling and IP addressing, and resolves escalated tickets from the help desk. Methodical, calm under pressure when something is down, and clear with users who aren't technical. CCNA-certified and working toward more advanced networking. Looking for a network-technician or junior network-engineer role with an organisation that depends on a solid network.
