About Me

My name is Mark, and I am a student pursuing my degree in Information Technology. I previously studied Electronics Technology and learned about some IT-adjacent topics, including computer servicing, microcomputer programming, and digital logic. I have worked for an insurance company since 2006, which has been primarily on computers, but I have no professional experience in the field of Information Technology per se. Some of my hobbies include playing guitar and building guitar amplifiers. I have a passion for building and fixing things. My employer has generously offered tuition assistance for students seeking degrees in fields related to insurance. Given my background in electronics and interest in solving problems combined with my extensive experience working in insurance, I feel that Information Technology is a natural evolution for my career development. With technology constantly changing, my employer’s need for Information Technology professionals is ever-expanding, and I hope to leverage my education and experience to contribute to the development of technologies that improve employee and customer experiences. I believe that education and technology can be powerful catalysts to help improve people’s lives, and I am excited to embark on this path and explore my potential to contribute to this growing field of work.
