Engineer, Administer, Support
I am an IT professional who operates on the these 3 principles. If a new system is needed, engineer a solution. If a system needs to be updated or maintained, administer ways to make it easy and efficient. If users are running into issues, provide support, guides and walkthroughs to get them going.
My background in meteorology and computer science helped lay a foundation for how I approach technology: observe the system, learn how it works and how it breaks, then find ways to improve upon it.
