IT & Network Technician

Miles
Granato

Detail-oriented and technically skilled Field Technician with hands-on experience in networking, troubleshooting, and customer support. Proven ability to diagnose and resolve connectivity issues, install and configure hardware, and work independently in fast-paced environments. Seeking to transition into an IT role where I can apply my networking knowledge and problem-solving skills.

Based in Austin, TX — I spend my downtime tinkering with home networks and smart-home gear just for the fun of it. See the Ring camera project below.
