About Me

Jesus Ortiz

With a decade of dedicated service in the United States Marine Corps, I gained extensive experience in the world of IT, encompassing network and systems administration, telecommunications, help desk management, and customer service support. I’ve led teams in building secure network infrastructures across global environments. My military tenure also included responsibilities in mentorship, management, administration, training development, inventory management, and physical security at U.S. Embassies worldwide.

These experiences have sharpened my leadership, communication, problem-solving, and adaptability skills, enabling me to excel in high-pressure, dynamic environments and collaborate effectively within diverse teams.

I am currently pursuing industry-recognized certifications from CompTIA and Cisco to further enhance my technical proficiency. Known for my ability to quickly master new skills and tackle complex challenges, I am driven by a commitment to teamwork, integrity, and dedication. My goal is to configure, implement, and maintain secure network infrastructures that ensure seamless connectivity and support organizational success.
