Azure Cloud Intern

Our bench is in the back of a strip-mall storefront, where we image laptops and swap failed drives. Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call. We started in 2021 and have grown to about 16 people. Certification exams are paid for, and passing one comes with a raise.
