I have advanced proficiency in both macOS and Windows, and I'm also familiar with Linux at a beginner level. My networking skills are at a mid-advanced level, and I pay close attention to detail in computer setup, hardware, and software. I'm also knowledgeable in virus removal and remote support tools. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with CCTV systems and running my own online store. I've also worked in the U.S. on a seasonal work visa.
