Summary
Chris Beckstrom is a versatile support technician and system administrator with 13 years of hands-on experience across healthcare IT, data migration, and music technology. He spent a decade managing customer support and remote hardware for hundreds of clients, then transitioned to ETL and data analyst work extracting and migrating medical records. Now at Liquid Web, he pairs deep sysadmin skills across Linux/Mac/Windows with scripting (Python, Bash, PHP) and database experience (MySQL, MSSQL).
