Clinton Jarvis

Previous Experience:

I have 10+ years of IT Support experience starting from a hardware technician and team lead at Tech Squad to 3 years of running my own company providing cloud based collaboration solutions and development.

Certifications:

I am Crestron certified (home and office automation). My knowledge is almost all self-taught otherwise.

What do you like most about UnitedCloud?

The small community that we have built internally with my co-workers and, externally, the deep level of interaction I get to have with our resellers and customers. Really makes you feel like you’re a part of something bigger.

What hobbies and interests do you have outside of work?

I love working on and designing circuits for things. Especially for my car. Which I constantly am tinkering with and improving. Otherwise I am playing video games with friends or binge-watching shows on Netflix (Mad Men, currently).

What were you like at age 10?

A joker, always getting into some new game or taking apart things to see how they work or how I can make them better. Basically me now, but extra hyper.

If given a chance, who would you like to be for a day?

Bill Gates. He has been my hero since I was able to understand what “Windows” was.

Or Travis Barker (from Blink-182).

What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?

Deep-fried Mandarin Orange. I don’t know why I made it or why I ate it. But it was pretty gross.

What music do you like listening to?

Pretty well anything. I always fall back to some favourites from growing up (Blink-182, Linkin Park, Pendulum, Paul Van Dyk, ATB), but I will listen to anything that is playing. I’m pretty easygoing with music.

What’s the best vacation you’ve ever had, and why?

Best vacation is next week! I am going to Ottawa with my Mom to learn about my heritage out east (I am from Calgary, born and raised) and to meet some of my family that I have never seen.

If it is HAD specifically… 3 years ago, I went on a 2-week trip camping in BC with my friend and we stayed at a bunch of places. The top of Mt. Ida, Halfway Hot Springs, and a couple other really amazing spots.

A Telecommuter’s Best Friend: Why Cloud Phone is the Ultimate Solution for Remote Workers

Most of us are now well-acquainted with the concept of work from home, but in many cases, work from home is harder than on-site work; lack of contact with team members, no access to tools, and a host of other issues can arise when working remotely.

5 Tips to Increase Focus and Cut Down on Digital Distractions

Technology is a powerful tool in many ways, but like everything else, it must be used in moderation. Your phone connects you to the world and lets you keep in touch with family and friends, but it can also draw you away from them if you’re always checking your social media feed at the dinner […]
