Having worked in IT now for close to 21 years, I have built a strong level of both knowledge and experience, taking in those experiences of the past to make those in the future the best they can be. To do this, I look to be a logical thinker and solve issues and problems occur in the most straight forward way possible. With the world of IT concentrating becoming more and more reliant, I concentrate my efforts on making sure the customer is up and working as quickly as possible, with an eye on making sure they are suitably equipped for future challenges. I have seen the IT world change over time from one that was very much on-premise to one that is very much cloud-based, and I have maintained my skills ready for the challenges that come my way whilst also making sure the end user has everything they need from their IT support.
