Introduction
Currently, I am an IT Support Officer and System Administrator at
Geospatial Intelligence Pty Ltd, and I have graduated in a Bachelor of
Software Engineering and Bachelor of Business Informatics as of June 2024.
About Me
I am a dedicated IT professional who enjoys new challenges. I particularly
enjoy optimising approaches to said challenges, whether by researching
others' approaches to similar problems, or (which I find the most fun)
finding new and creative ways to overcome problems.
I have been working at GI for nearly 3 years now, and recently, I
completed my 4-year double degree in Software Engineering and Business
Informatics, majoring in Cyber Security and System Administration.
I am looking for a change that will allow me to contribute my experience,
skills, and knowledge in a new and fresh environment.
