Diverse | Adaptive | Objective | "Hit The Ground Running" | Information Technology Consultant & Practitioner
I am a diverse, adaptive, and objective consultant and practitioner that is able to "hit the ground running" in roles I undertake. This is underpinned by my diversity in business areas, government, variety of roles, and variety of technologies achieved through my commercial experience since 1996.
Underpinning my diverse business and government knowledge, adaptive work attitude, and objective solutions to requirements, are my core competencies in day-to-day operation support, data analysis, data migration, systems analysis and design, database design, implementation and support.
Offering solutions with a short and long-term focus is underpinned by my experience working in project and emergency response environments.
I've also had five years in the hospitality industry that laid the foundations to my abilities to understand the importance of client relations, efficient and consistent processes, and a commitment to delivery excellence.
In 2001 and 2002, I've undertaken freelance information technology roles working with small businesses, developing web sites and applications, and utilities. I learnt the importance of working in an agile manner with local, interstate, and international clients. Working on fixed-price projects as a freelancer, I also learnt the important skills of requirements clarification, scope management, work packaging, and clear written communication; leading to minimise rework and maximise profitability on fixed-price work reverse-auctioned to a globalised freelance audience.
Since 2011, I have co-design and developed unsuccessful mobile apps for the Apple iPhone and the iPod Touch that has exposed me to developing products for a very competitive high-expectation low unit price globalised market.
As much as I enjoy my career since 1996, I enjoy the time with my son and family, and pursue my hobbies in photography and cycling.
