Who I Am

I'm Connor — a CS grad from FSU actively looking for my first full-time role in IT support, helpdesk, or entry-level development. I'm ready to be part of a team and grow into a long-term position.

I built Coop Tech Support as a freelance operation to get real experience outside the classroom — supporting 100+ clients across Windows and macOS, deploying AWS infrastructure, and building custom websites. It gave me thick skin and practical skills. Now I'm looking to take those skills into a company full-time.

I'm a fast learner, I communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical people, and I genuinely enjoy fixing things. If your team has a spot for someone like that, let's talk.

What I Bring to a Team

Helpdesk & IT Support

Comfortable diagnosing and resolving issues across Windows and macOS — hardware, software, peripherals, remote sessions. I've done it for 100+ real clients and I don't panic when something breaks.

Networking

Network setup and troubleshooting for home and small office environments — dead zones, Wi-Fi bridges, connectivity optimization. I set up a 300-ft wireless bridge for a commercial operation with zero prior documentation.

Cloud & AWS

AWS Solutions Architect certified. Hands-on with S3, EC2, Lambda, CloudFront, and API Gateway. I can set things up, keep them running, and document them clearly for the rest of the team.

Web Development

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Node.js. I can build and maintain websites and internal tools. Not a senior dev, but I ship working code and I pick things up fast.

Systems & Automation

Process documentation, workflow automation, Python scripting, and data organization. I like figuring out repetitive work and making it not repetitive.

Data & Documentation

Data cleanup, Excel, SQL, and structured internal documentation. I organized and validated 10k+ row datasets for a grant submission and built a client knowledge base from scratch in my own operation.

My Toolkit

Languages & Data

Python SQL JavaScript HTML/CSS Bash C++ Java Pandas

Cloud & DevOps

AWS (S3, EC2, Lambda, CloudFront) Docker CI/CD GitHub Actions Linux/Unix
