🌟 IT Pro Spotlight

The people behind the help desk

Every month we feature a Canadian IT support pro — their story, their setup, and one thing they wish they'd known earlier. Want to be featured (or nominate someone)? We'd love to hear from you.

Francis Gabutin

IT Support Associate II · Toronto, ON · Founder of this site

Francis works IT support at an Amazon fulfillment center, where he doesn't stop at closing the ticket — he builds the tool that makes the problem disappear. From an RFID device-detection platform to floor-ops dashboards and productivity userscripts, he ships fixes that save his team real time.

"Start with the problem, not the technology. Then build the smallest thing that makes it go away."
