Keeping tech simple and easy can be a challenge. I've been working in IT for more than 15 years now, and I have seen it all, from the end-user perspective to the back-end infrastructure. At the moment, I am working as a Technical Adoption Manager (TAM) at VMware by Broadcom, and with my channel, I'll try to explain how stuff works on the Enterprise Tech side, as well as your everyday home tech. Nice to meet you.
