About Me

Leaving University, my goal was to further my knowlege in infrastructure and enterprise applications and solutions, to facilitate this, I joined JustIT, a self funded training and recruitment firm to break into IT and gain the qualifications needed to distinguish myself from the rest.

Having a very high aptitude in technology and computing, I have progressed very quickly in my career from being known as the 'Go to guy' for IT related issues, helping family members and friends with issues such as blue screens, software compatibility issues and hardware replacement, e.g. replacing PSU modules, re-applying thermal paste and replacing CPU fans as a hobby to achieving a degree in computer science to starting my career in help-desk and quickly progressing with promotions to working on remote execution and deployment automation, virtualisation platforms and SaaS solutions to now taking my passion for technology to new heights with Cloud platform computing, containerisation and web operations optimisations and automation.

Currently working at CBRE, as a Senior Systems Engineer, involved in on-premise and cloud end to end deployments of systems to better facilitate the companies goals.
