About
I currently hold several IT certifications from Microsoft. I also have a Master's in Cybersecurity Management and Data Analytics. I wrote several system automation scripts to automate system installation and file management tasks such as moving big files to another storage medium, and packaging software applications (e.g. Office 365, adobe reader, etc.). I have developed more complex scripts that are tailored to a specific task(s). If anyone needs someone to write a system automation script, I'd be happy to assist whether it is for a company, organization, or for individual. Check out my Software coding projects link at the top of my profile to see type of coding work I have done for organizations and individuals.
