I am currently a Platform Engineer at the University of Canterbury, working on cloud infrastructure and automation within UC's Web Experience team. I am interested in developing robust systems and processes that enable my team to try, learn, and deliver.

This was my first IT role where i really started to believe in what i was doing.

I gained experience in troubleshooting a variety of IT issues and improving user satisfaction.

I worked as a labourer at Metro Glasstech, where i learned about glass arasing and where i had a great work colleague who really took me under his wing.

I worked for a short time as a "Network Engineer" for a small IT company. This was my first role in the IT industry, and although i thought i was ready for the role, i wasn't, and i also needed more guidance, which i didn't recieve, and i was let go.

I worked for a time, as a Systems administrator for a transcribing company. Although the time i was given in the role was short, and the opputunities to learn were limited, i did manage to identify some areas where improvements could be made, although i needed more time to fully understand the business, which i unfortunately didn't get as the owners sold the business.

Yes, after graduating from my studies, i worked as a picker and packer for staples while looking for my start in IT. Not much to say, tried to make myself indispensable to the boss, seemed like a stressful job, so tried to make it as easy as i could, kept my head down and did everything asked of me

I worked at Grasslands farms as a herd manager for a few years, gaining valuable experience in dairy farming industry, from managing day to day activities, to coordinating junior staff, to making difficult decisions under pressure. I developed tenancity and number8 wire thinking in this role.

I worked as a drain cleaner, working alongside an experienced colleague who taught me the ropes, i pretty quickly realised i wanted to do something else.

I worked as a sales person at Cobra promotions, where i gained experience in customer service and sales techniques. I was alright at this, naturally. It was a great opportunity to develop my communication skills and learn about the retail industry, but i realised quickly it wasn't what i wanted to do.

I worked as a food processor at Turners & Growers, not sure why, but i always wanted to work in this place. I had applied for a position previously but didn't get it. I was still pretty young, but i learned about how to work with people, what kind of attitudes people have and how to work hard to ensure the work is done before the end of the shift.

I worked as a plastics processor, alongside my bothers who both worked here. In all honesty, i shouldn't have worked here, as i wasn't technically old enough, but i did, and i learned a lot about the different characters i would come across in the workplace in future.

This was my first job, i worked in my uncles restaurant, washing dishes and helping with various tasks. It was great, i think this put me on the path of being independent.
