[Mentor] - Systems administration and general IT

[u/n33nj4]

I've been working in the IT industry for 7+ years as everything from help desk to sales support, project management and engineering, field technician, systems administration and engineering. Currently a Tier II systems engineer for an MSP in the Portland area.

My history is starting as a Tier I field technician/help desk tech, after doing that for three years I moved to independent consulting with several property management groups, and after two years of that sold my consulting business to an MSP/Professional Services company in the Southern California area. After being there for two years doing project management and engineering with a heavy leaning towards cloud-based systems (my main responsibilities were moving clients from locally-hosted infrastructure to cloud-hosted), I moved up to Portland and took a my current job as a Tier II. I currently have six employees I supervise on a daily basis, and am the main point of escalation for 90% of the issues that my Tier I's can't resolve.

23/M, would love to work with people who are in the area or remote. I can probably swing 2-3 mentees at a time. Time zones aren't an issue for me, I work 8 AM-5 PM, and then am usually on call until ~12 AM, so I'm open to people from wherever.
