Redacted for privacy | IT Manager | November 2016 - Present |
Redacted for privacy is a business in the tourism industry. I manage all of their IT infrastructure, including computers, servers, routers, access points, phones and tablets. I also manage the website, where I try to ensure that it is responsive (easily adapts to different screen sizes) and all pages load as fast as possible. I was also tasked with creating a custom point of sales system to satisfy the needs of the business.
