Kevin Clear
About Me
Hello! My name is Kevin Clear, and welcome to my website. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and earned my B.S. in Information Technology from Florida International University in 2017. With a strong foundation in IT and a passion for technology, I have since built a diverse skill set that includes Apple Business Manager, Google Workspace Administration, System Administration, Software Engineering, DevOps Engineering, and more.
After graduating, I worked at Google for two years as part of their IT Residency Program, followed by roles as an IT Generalist at Calico Life Sciences and a Technical Solutions Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer back at Google. In these positions, I gained extensive experience in troubleshooting, automation, security, and large-scale systems design, contributing to the success of both internal teams and external customers.
Currently, I am working a contract as a Production Support Engineer role at Apple, where I assist both external clients and internal employees with their technical issues. I remain open to new opportunities and am excited to leverage my skills and experience to make a positive impact in my next role. If you are looking for a dedicated and versatile IT professional, I would love to connect and explore how I can contribute to your organization's success.
