Feel free to call me Jay!

I am an IT professional, with 2 years of experience in the field, supporting individuals of all technical levels.
Recently, I have been looking to expand my potential, working on projects and certifications to better my understanding of the technology I use every day.


I enjoy working on myself, racing my car, and spending time with those around me in my off time. During this period, I’ve learned that projects can be fun, tires are expensive, and memories last a lifetime.
