What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my IT skills in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for growth and leadership.

I am a dedicated and technically skilled IT professional with hands-on experience in network systems, troubleshooting, and IT operations. My strong academic background in information technology and networking, combined with leadership experience in operations management, has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in the IT field.

In my most recent role as Operations Director and IT Technician at Safety Master Pty Ltd, I oversaw daily business operations and managed the IT infrastructure. I was responsible for installing and maintaining network systems, providing technical support, and managing vendor relations. My ability to supervise a team while ensuring compliance with safety standards has been a key aspect of my leadership journey.

Additionally, my experience as a Trainee IT Officer at the Magistrate Court Maun allowed me to assist in system maintenance and IT support, further enhancing my troubleshooting skills. I am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to contribute to innovative IT solutions.
