Highly skilled in all Windows Operating Systems, as well as some MAC experience. Networking, proper wiring, storage systems, data migration, backup and recovery, and pretty much anything to do with computers, I can do. The same goes for Audio-Visual, video conferencing systems, and home entertainment. My GPA at the Cleveland Institute of Electronics was 3.8. I also am handy with video cameras, sound systems, and video projection equipment.
