About

👨‍💼 About Me My name is Andrew Quinn. I'm a technology strategist and IT consultant. I've been working in IT for longer than I'd care to admit, starting with repairing computers while I was still in school and now helping large enterprises to define and deliver their technology strategy. I am passionate about technology and the opportunities it presents. 🎬 About The Channel Keeping up with technology can be a challenge for IT pros, and many who have inherited the responsibility of a technology decision-maker don't have the time or the background to research everything they need to make informed decisions. I started this channel to provide answers to common questions brought to me in the field. I also sprinkle in some content that I think is interesting or fun, so you don't have to be a hardened sysadmin or stressed-out IT manager to find something useful here. Many of my subscribers just like technology! 📧 Contact Me Twitter: @AndrewMRQuinn Partnerships: info (at) protechshow.com
