These examples showcase my knowledge and understanding surrounding the installation of computer hardware and its related systems. They also provide an example of my ability to recognize the needs that are required to be met for various circumstances, such as general-purpose office work, heavy gaming, and a simple multimedia viewing system.
Initially asked to troubleshoot issues with the secretarial computer at Baltic Zion UCC, I was asked to provide an update for the board regarding the computer's status. They also asked for my thoughts on purchasing a new computer compared to updating the current 10-year-old system.
The proposal was accepted and I developed a list of needs for the application. I then ordered components for a custom-built computer tailored to their needs.
Installation of the new workstation went smoothly and, once file transfers were complete, testing was successful.
