OverviewPossessing strong business and IT understanding, and excellent organisational skills have enabled me to successfully design and implement several infrastructure solutions for various organisations. As an IT professional with over 10 years of experience, my successful project completion is facilitated by an in-depth knowledge of IT Networking infrastructure, an ability to foresee and identify potential issues, as well as skills to rapidly build and maintain rapport with clients. I am very passionate about networking and have a very strong work ethic.
Background/Career ObjectiveI am a certified and experienced Network Engineer with a stable employment history that includes 10 years in the Australian Defence Force and almost 3 years with the Public Trustee of Queensland. During this period, I have established a solid reputation as a reliable and conscientious communications specialist who can work independently and provide strong leadership to personnel. Although I appreciate and continue to enjoy my current employment with the Public Trustee, I am now ready for a fresh challenge. I am confident that I have acquired a broad knowledge and skills that I can impart to others. My referees will confirm that I am an innovative and capable employee with specialist knowledge and skills. I am seeking long-term employment that motivates me through ongoing challenges, opportunities of learning and professional development, and the availability of a career pathway.
Personality SnapshotI am an approachable person, who has an engaging yet relaxed communication style that breaks down barriers and encourages mutual respect. I have a healthy sense of humour appropriate to the workplace. At the same time however, I am passionate about what I do and set extremely high standards of excellence for myself and the team. I am a natural leader who enjoys working with others, and encouraging others to achieve to the best of their ability. I highly value and enjoy professional development and education. This attitude is reflected in my self-initiated, self-funded training to become a CCNP. My work and career is important to me as is my supportive, loving family. I am a committed father that relishes time with my four sons.
