Hello, I'm Umesh. I'm a Computer Systems Technician graduate from Durham College, honored on the honor list. I specialize in Cybersecurity and IT Support with a focus on network security and cloud solutions.
About me
After earning a degree in Computer Systems Technician from Durham College, I embraced my passion for Cybersecurity, Network Technician roles, IT Support, and cloud technologies. To deepen my expertise, I am advancing my qualifications with industry-recognized certifications, including CompTIA A+, Network+, Cisco CCNA, and Linux LPIC-1. I thrive on the problem-solving aspect of technology—the thrill of diagnosing issues and devising effective solutions energizes me. My technical proficiency spans Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Technical Support, Cisco Networking, and Linux.
I am actively seeking to leverage my skills in a full-time role focused on Cybersecurity and IT Support, where I can contribute to and grow with a dynamic organization.
Outside of my professional interests, I engage in various hobbies such as playing video games, watching movies, cooking, and exploring diverse cuisines. I have a keen interest in history and spirituality, areas in which I am continually enriching my knowledge.
