Petar is a 38 year old man from Kenmore, NY, USA

I began studying computer science in Seattle WA and had a natural aptitude for computer technology. I worked for the Highline School District in Seattle monitoring all of their computer labs, then progressed to the Boeing Corporation as a computer maintenance technician where I was able to work independently solving complex IT issues.

As a result of my enthusiasm and experience I was hired on by Microsoft. They saw my potential and as a result my experience grew exponentially. At the end of my five years with Microsoft I was responsible for large scale application testing laboratories. We dealt successfully with Microsoft's largest clients, testing their software against the latest and greatest operating systems. I got to work with some of the brightest minds in the computer industry and benefited constantly from their knowledge and advice.

Upon leaving Microsoft I took the position of Applications Specialist for a large law firm in Bufffalo NY - Hodgeson Russ LLP. I was tasked with upgrading application deployment from Novell Zen Works 4 to Novell ZEN Works 7 and maintaining application deployment for all user/desktop applications used by the firm. I also became the go to person who solved difficult server issues, data storage issues, help desk issues, and also was a valuable resource in dealing with the internal customer issues at the firm.

Along the way I consulted with a select group of businesses. In this way I was able to use my experience to help them work efficiently and grow their companies.

I tend to be an excellent problem solver and troubleshooter and I can understand the frustration many of my clients have in dealing with internet technology. My knowledge and methods allow me to work through any issue whether technology based or for business solutions. I love working with clients and take pride in getting them to a point where technology is helping them to work efficiently to achieve their goals.
