Summary
I have had the privilege of working at Curvature for the past 10 years, gaining extensive knowledge and experience in the hardware and networking industries. I started immediately after high school in the shipping department, progressing through nearly every position in the operations warehouse over the course of 3 to 4 years. This hands-on experience set the foundation for my transition into networking.
I completed an in-house, competitive Cisco Technician course, which led to a role on the network team where I worked for 3 years. Seeking further growth, I transitioned to the server and storage team, where I have continued to develop my expertise. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to participate in field engineering projects, traveling out of state to support data center relocations and hardware upgrades for clients.
