Hi, my name is

Andrew.

I'm an IT leader and project manager.

Continuing my professional development, I earned my CCNA and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certifications in 2025, and most recently achieved my PMP certification in 2026.

About Me

I’m an IT professional with seven years of experience delivering technology solutions and leading IT teams. I began my career as an IT Field Engineer at a small managed services provider (MSP), where I built a strong technical foundation across a wide range of IT systems and support environments. Since then, I’ve transitioned into IT management, where I lead a team of IT Field Engineers for a large commercial general contracting firm. Throughout my career, I’ve developed expertise in networking, project management, and team leadership while driving technology initiatives that improve operational efficiency and support business goals. I’m committed to continuous learning and professional growth, with a current focus on networking, cloud technologies, automation, and cybersecurity. I earned my CCNA and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certifications in 2025, followed by my PMP certification in 2026.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Meraki
  • GNS3
  • Azure
  • WireShark
  • SharePoint
  • Visio
  • Monday.com
  • VS Code
