IT support and networking, Louisville, Kentucky

I support the networks and point-of-sale systems behind a group of restaurant locations, working with Fortinet firewalls and switches, ISPs, and our managed service provider. I am studying for Network+ and looking to move into network and infrastructure work.

Work

Oct 2025 to now

IT Service Desk Analyst

Manna, Inc., Louisville

  • Support the networks at our restaurant locations: Fortinet FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch switches, and ISP connections. I find what needs to change, like moving a device to a different VLAN, and submit it to the MSP that manages the Fortinet gear.
  • When a location loses internet, I walk the staff on site through troubleshooting over the phone, then work with the ISP or send a technician if it needs hands-on repair.
  • Keep the point-of-sale side healthy: registers, card readers, and the on-site server. I ship replacement cables and hardware so a location is never down for long.
  • Manage accounts, password resets, and permissions in Active Directory and Microsoft 365 for new hires and departures.
  • Part of a 7-person service desk that covers 24 hours a day. Imaging and deploying laptops, and tracking every incident in SysAid with notes the next tier can act on.
