Joined the Information Technology 'industry' in 1999 - just in time for the much anticipated 'Y2K' hype. A lot has changed since this time & the technology has moved at a staggering pace.
I have experienced many technologies, operating systems, applications, hardwares and of course people during this period. I have perfomed roles at all levels - from helpdesk in small work centres to being Subject Matter Expert at Global Enterprises.
I have worked in some small places as the sole IT resource and also in larger enterprises as part of a team, some of the organisations include:
•IBM
•Hewlett-Packard (HP)
•Iveco Trucks
•Parks Victoria
•Coca-Cola/Amatil
•Daimler-Chrysler
•Telstra
•Australia Post
•Suzlon Energy Australia
Prior to 1999 - I was a Sworn member of the Victoria Police Force (for approx. 10 years) which afforded me a myriad of personal experiences not available in the 'corporate' world. It also provided me with some very important skills, such as Document/Report Writing, Public Speaking/Presentation, Conflict Resolution, Analysis Skills, Evidence Gathering, Fact Finding & Confirmation, Interviewing Skills & Leadership.
I believe in providing value for money and a professional service. I have an eye for detail. I take pride in my work. I also possess a strong work ethic and am reliable, trustworthy, dependable, discreet & professional.
I keep myself abreast of advancements in technology & have attained various vendor certifications over the years, including:
•Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)
•Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA)
•Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator -Messaging
