Background

About Arthur Smith

With 20 years of experience in military operations, leadership, and technical expertise, I am a highly motivated professional transitioning into the IT field. My career has been defined by leading high-performing teams, managing complex projects, and driving strategic initiatives in high-pressure environments. I bring a strong foundation in IT, built through hands-on experience, formal education, and an ongoing commitment to expanding my technical knowledge. I recently completed the Google IT Professional Certificate, CompTIA Security+ CE, and PeopleCert ITIL 4. Additionally I am currently pursuing certifications in A+, and Network+. I graduated this year earning a Bachelor of Applied Science in Technical Management, with a focus on the management of information systems, from American Military University. Along with technical skills in systems troubleshooting, network security, and operations management, I have a proven track record of managing high-value equipment and coordinating cross-functional teams in diverse, global environments. I am highly adaptable, analytical, and detail-oriented, with a passion for continuous improvement and innovation. My military background has shaped me into a strategic problem solver, able to think critically under pressure, prioritize effectively, and communicate with clarity and professionalism. I consider myself as the family Helpdesk, since I am always troubleshooting my wife and son's computers. I am now seeking roles where I can leverage my leadership, technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities to contribute to organizational success and grow within the IT industry.
