From favourite pieces of tech to the best part of their job, as part of our our latest blog series, get to know our Soltech IT team a little better.
George Stas is an IT Technician at Soltech IT. Below is a little bit more about him!
Describe your role at Soltech IT.
My role at Soltech IT is to provide IT
support to schools and businesses both while on site as well as remotely. Whether it be
routine maintenance, upgrades or solving issues; my job is to help keep things
running smoothly.
What skills do you think you bring to your role?
I’ve always had a keen interest in technology and
spent a considerable amount of my childhood in front of a screen. I knew I
wanted to get into IT when I started to take apart gaming consoles and
modifying them. I moved onto PC’s and started to build/upgrade them for friends
and family. I studied computing at college where I discovered an interest in
networking and security. The latter being very important in my job when dealing
with schools and businesses.
What is your favourite piece of tech or gadget?
My Samsung s7 Edge.
Everything I need is in my pocket; Spotify, email, social networks and the
ability to look up anything within a matter of seconds is something I can’t live
without.
Outside of work what is your favourite thing to do in your spare time?
I
enjoy socialising and when not in front of my computer I like being out and
about doing things. Whether this be focusing on fitness or doing the opposite
and going out for food – Being around people is what I enjoy.
What are you listening to/ reading/ watching at the moment?
I’m currently
binge watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Good Doctor but I really like finding
good shows on Netflix. I’m just waiting for the last season of Game of Thrones!
Who would you invite (real, fictional, dead or alive) to your dream dinner party?
Dara Ó Briain, and Lee
Mack.
