Okay, let’s tackle this. So Armando has a strong technical background in telecommunications, Linux, and data center management. His skills in networking protocols and devices are in demand. Location is Miami, Florida, which is a hub for telecommunications and IT services. According to industry benchmarks, professionals with similar skills in this location can charge around $100–$200 per hour. Considering his expertise and experience, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the average but still competitive given his location and industry demand.
