Manuel Marin III, Los Angeles
Help desk, web stack, and the automation in between.
I'm an IT technician and full-stack developer. I've worked a Tier 1 help desk, built and hosted e-commerce storefronts on AWS and Cloudflare, and wired the automations that keep them running.
What I can do for your team
Four kinds of role, four one-page resumes. Each one is written for that job.
-
IT support
Tier 1 help desk for Windows and macOS users: Active Directory, Microsoft 365, VPN, printers, and VoIP. About 20 tickets a day at Fralock, and a year on CSUN's computer-lab desk before that.

IT operations
AWS (EC2, RDS, EBS), Hostinger VPS, and Cloudflare DNS and Workers. Moved a live store between hosts with a DNS cutover and brought it back after a hosting suspension. PowerShell, Bash, and Python for the glue.

Systems and automation
Zapier workflows for payment routing, order intake, Slack alerts, and AI chatbot replies. QuickBooks and analytics integrations, and order-data analysis that steered an SEO program to twice the search clicks in six months.
