Computer/ electronics guru. Hobbies are: electronics mainly destroying things and then making something new or learning how things work. I have been getting into fixing more things though. for instance all of my LCD monitors were trash at one time because they didn't work. Most of them a replacement capacitor i salvaged from something fixed it. My career field is network administration. I do work on maintaining a good sized home network with around 10 system in total. I primarily deal with windows, a little android but have used older macs, and on occasion some Linux tools. I also use many freeware products for personal use. I have done work on all stuff from laptops to large mainframe class servers that when they came out cost like $20K. One of the "desktops" is actually a UNISYS mainframe class server i was given. This was my first experience with SCSI. I have worked with SATA, IDE, SCSI, WiFi, Ethernet. I also do troubleshooting, Maintenance on my home network. I'm also pretty familiar with satellite ISPs like Hughesnet, Exede. I can even sometimes determine issues they have they don't know about. I have done some internships in enterprise environments in the I.T field, but haven't landed a job yet. Some of my friends refer to me as the IT McGyver because i can pretty much take what most people think is junk then turn it into something new. I'm CIW certified in networking, internet business, certified fiber optic installer, comptia A+, Network+, Security+ and Cisco CCENT also have an AAS in network administration and working towards a BS degree in the field.
