Achievements, History, & abilities

I am an IST student with high honors & a history of diagnosing issues & repairing computers. I am self taught on how to build a computer from any compatable parts. Diagonosed issues on at least 4 different hardware issues by the age of 13 with limited access to any computers. Entirely self taught in hardware repair. I have quick adaptability & learning capability, allowing for me to hastily change in the instant that I need to. It also allows me to quickly get comfortable with websites I have not used before, new or obsolete operating systems, and other new topics. I have had an interest in computers by the age of four, when I had first used a much older computer, around 5-6 years old at my time of use. It is on that computer that I first learned how to navigate an OS.

Style of work

Streamlined focus, key words, phrases, ect. Work quickly & effienctly, no corners cut. Simple & fast to read & understand. My own notes tend to be fragmented, a way to trigger memory as opposed to paragraphs to reread constantly to relearn notes. This style of work allows me to not only remember things in easier ways, but also allows me to be faster

Interests in the Trade

CPU internals, GPU internals, Computer design, repair, & history. I am also heavily interested on learning new things about computers, like how each particular component works, the new optimizations and how they work, and other more specific knowledge. I have been incredibly interested in learning the history of computers, especially recently.

Primary Strengths Primary Weaknesses
Strong understanding of the english language. Weak social capabilities including small talk.
Strong knowledge on modern and older computer parts Easily made anxious without controlled audio such as music.
Focused on work with controlled audio such as music in a wireless earbud Susceptible to minor breakdowns while overwhelmed
Swift and efficient work when working solo or in organized groups Struggle with working in large, unorganized groups
Quick Adaptibility

Summary

When it comes to solo work, I am efficient in executing tasks, though in larger, less organized groups I am significantly weaker. I can easily get overwhelmed with those I do not know if I do not have some form of controllable audio. I've been consistently interested in hardware, especially with computers. I have always enjoyed working on computers. Along with my long history with them, I also tend to have an intrigue to all computers. I also am constantly looking for new knowledge, both in the trade and otherwise.
