Career Profile

10+ years of experience as a Network Engineer. I pivoted to freelancing during the pandemic and am currently writing content for tech and SaaS companies. My background also includes sales and marketing, which I gained from my time as an insurance agent. I recently earned my AWS certification and am seeking to transition back into a technical role.
