I started working with hardware at a younger age than most as my dad working in the carpentry trade would have tools all around the house I could use to dismantle any toys near by. When I started high school at FCTS I enrolled at an opportune time as our class had just received a grant for all new workstation computers that we were taught how to build. There building my first computer had kick started my favorite hobby to date, building and computer repair has become more of a passion I would pursue given the opportunity. Since then I have build 3 more computers including the one that I currently own and have fixed a number of phones, laptops, desktops, printers, and game consoles for friends and family over the years. I also have some professional networking skills I have gained from working at MWW(Montague WebWorks) since after corona the app project i had been went dormant and new customers for websites were few and far to come. With this lack of programming and web work I started on their in house server first replacing a bad drive and re configuring the raid array before installing windows 2016 and getting it ready for hyper-v replication as a disaster recovery server for our cloud servers that we ran all of our web CMS on. After replication was successful I installed a few virtual machines to run a productivity app called jira and a cloud storage app called ownlcoud. I am currently trying to gain experience in computer hardware and am looking into online options for expanding my knowledge. My current goal is to work for a repair shop for a few years under a professional where I can learn the real applications skills and tips from someone who has been in the trade for years.
