About Jared Bachman

Technology is my passion. I enjoy working with computers, smartphones/tablets, and anything else technology has to offer. I began my career working in Technical Support and PC Repair. I spent time working for an Internet Service Provider, and for a time co-owned a Computer Service and Virtual Internet Service Provider business. I spent some time in financial sales, but my passion for technology brought me back.I spent nearly 10 years in Wireless Communication Sales and Sales Management. I enjoyed watching the cell phone evolve from a basic conversation device, to a powerful handheld computer.In 2014, I completed my A.A.S. in Information Technology and began working in Travel Technology. Two of my favorite \"hobbies\" are technology and travel, so it\'s really a perfect fit. What is Travel Technology? Wikipedia calls it \"the application of Information Technology (IT) or Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry.\" Really, I do a little bit of everything. I manage projects, and strive to make our agents, clients, and travelers happy. In the simplest of terms, my job is to use technology to make our agents job\'s easier, and to improve the experience for our travelers. I take pride in troubleshooting and solving complex problems.I enjoy continually learning new skills in a constantly evolving business. I believe in lifelong learning; in 2017 I completed my B.S. in Information Science & Technology, and in 2019 I earned my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.Specialties Include: Computer Hardware/Software, MS Windows (Standard/Server), Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS, SQL (MySQL/Oracle), Networking, Telecommunications, Regular Expressions, Travel Technologies (Concur Compleat, Apollo GDS, and more), Technical Support, Technical Writing, Employee Development, Customer Relations, MS Office, Retail Sales/Management, Written/Verbal Communication
