About Me

I am Bruno Veiga, an IT Support & Infrastructure Technician with a background in software development and data systems. My current work includes Windows support, networking, printers, business systems, CCTV/VoIP, and basic Windows Server and Active Directory administration.

I am continuing to develop deeper skills in systems administration, networking, Linux, cloud infrastructure, and automation. I like to understand how technologies work beneath the configuration steps. How systems, services, protocols, and components interact, so I can troubleshoot problems logically rather than rely only on memorized procedures.
