My name is Elkin ****** ******. I’m born on October 8th 1979 in Quibdo, Colombia. I graduated in Information Technology at the University of The Hague, the Netherlands. Currently I’m also pursuing a Bachelor degree in Technical Engineering and Sciences. Next to my general education, I’ve always been motivated to keep relevant industry certifications up to date and I currently hold:

I have extensive experience as a ******* Engineer / System Engineer. At present I work as a ******* and ************** Consultant. In my current role I’m responsible for advise, design and engineering as well as troubleshooting and administration.
Through my years in IT I’ve seen different IT-organizations from service desk roles (2001) to system and ******* administration roles up to engineering/design roles. These experiences contribute to my understanding of IT and it’s processes on multiple levels. Because my main experience is built from being ‘submerged’ in client environments, I’m quit used to customer facing roles.
Years of experience in the following functions:
******* – 6 years
************** – 5 years
System Engineer – 8 years
Network Engineer - 5 months
