IT Procurement Executive | Help Desk & Technical Support Engineer (L1/L2)
Hi there, I’m an IT professional with over five years of experience bridging the gap between daily technical support and strategic IT procurement. Whether you need a hands-on Technical Support Engineer to manage your Help Desk operations or an executive to streamline your IT asset lifecycle, I bring both technical expertise and operational efficiency to your team.
I have spent the last five years supporting fast-paced Managed Service Provider (MSP) and corporate environments. I specialize in diagnosing complex hardware, software, and networking issues while ensuring your business gets the best value from its technology investments.
Core Technical & Procurement Expertise:
Help Desk & End-User Support (L1/L2): Providing reliable, fast-resolution troubleshooting for both local and remote users.
Cloud Administration: Hands-on management and configuration of Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Azure environments.
IT Procurement & Asset Lifecycle: Strategic sourcing, vendor relationship management, and hardware/software inventory tracking.
Operations & Ticketing Systems: Streamlined escalation management, workflow optimization, and cross-functional team collaboration.
I pride myself on clear communication and a customer-first approach. My goal isn't just to close tickets or purchase equipment—it's to turn operational challenges into real efficiency gains for your business, keeping everything running smoothly and minimizing downtime.
Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your IT infrastructure and procurement goals!
