Bio
Mason Schmitt
Chris Rakowitz is an incredibly valuable computer technician. On our team he is known by some as the "Rako-wiz" because he is often the go-to for issues that others are not able to resolve. His knowledge, skills, and dedication is some of the best I've seen. His PowerShell skills are fascinating, his knowledge of the Windows ecosystem is impressive, his intuition for cyber security is fantastic. With Chris being a senior and an escalation point at an MSP, he has a lot of experience with a lot of different organization. Thanks for everything, Chris!
