Deacon Smith during that time was studying for his MCSE 2000 certification. When I told him I had an interest in computers, he showed me his elaborate client\/server network that he built it was awesome! when he gave me a quick tutorial on Domain Controllers and Active Directory, I was instantly hooked, that was the moment that led me to embark a career in IT.<\/p>\n<p>Deacon Ramon Smith didn&#8217;t hesitate and took me under his wing and showed me the ropes on how to build and support computers\/networks. His mentoring and teachings were key to my success as an IT Professional and I owe him the world for that. During my journey in IT I took different technical courses which took my computer networking skills to the next\u00a0level. I currently hold multiple IT certifications and the I am still proactively working on achieving Microsoft, Cisco, VMware and Cloud certifications to expand my knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2003 to the present date I have held different IT positions such as: IT technician, Help Desk, Systems Analyst, Network technician, Data Center technician, Service Desk Supervisor, Sr. Systems Engineer, and most recently Sr. Cloud Engineer\/Architect.<\/p>\n<p>In this tech blog I plan to post many topics from basic general IT to vendor specific setups\/configs.
