During my time at PC Solutions I was in charge of most customer facing high stress calls. I maintained high profile desktop support cases while helping to delegate the smaller issues to other technicians and selling upgrades of the customer’s current systems. I designed, sold and deployed updated VMware ESX systems, providing the migrations off of the physical machines. The migrated servers would contain a variety of systems from DNS, Active Directory, QuickBooks and Database systems.
