My aim is to provide my employer client quality work that is done as quickly as possible. I'm knowledgeable and reliable especially when I'm doing the job in front of a computer as it is my forte. I'm willing to be trained about some other areas of work and will really appreciate doing it. I've been with my present client for 7 years now and so far I can say that I'm doing great with Research and Data Entry. I also have a background in accounting and I'm a graduate of BSBA Major in FInancial Management. I can also say that when it comes to computer related works, I can always compete even to some deep IT tasks. I'm a self-taught Linux System Administrator (I have a Linux Server at home) and I have basic knowledge of MYSQL, reverse proxy (Traefik), Docker containers, file server installation and all other software and feature of a server. My only experience is my server at home.
