🔧 IT Support and Administrator

🗓️ 2010 - 2020 | Argentina and Germany

During my time in Argentina from 2010 to 2017, I wore many hats as a freelancer in IT Support and Administration. It was a period of rapid tech changes, and I was right there, rolling up my sleeves, tackling everything from routine system updates to emergency crash recoveries.

What I Did:

  • The Go-To Tech Guy: Small businesses, startups, you name it – they all counted on me to keep their IT running smoothly. Whether setting up a new office network or rescuing data from a failing hard drive, I was the person they called.

  • Keeping Things Running: System admin tasks weren't just routine – they were crucial. I made sure servers were updated, backups were done regularly, and security was tight. It wasn't just about preventing problems; it was about being prepared for anything.

  • Solving Tech Mysteries: I loved the challenge of troubleshooting. Figuring out why a network was slow, or a computer wouldn't start was like solving a puzzle. And the best part? That 'aha' moment when everything clicked and started working again.

  • Security First: These were the years when I realized just how important cybersecurity is. I helped clients protect their data from threats and taught them the importance of good digital habits.

  • More Than Just Fixes: I wasn't just there to fix things; I advised businesses and customers on the best tech for their needs, helped them understand the tech they had, and even trained their teams to be more self-sufficient.

What I Learned:

Those years as a freelance IT Support and Administrator taught me a lot. I learned to be adaptable, to explain tech stuff in plain language, and that the best feeling in the world is helping someone solve a problem that's been driving them nuts.
