01 / ABOUT

A technical mindset built across different environments.

My experience has taken me from hospitality and technical retail to professional B2B IT support, industrial production and warehouse leadership.

I don't need to already know everything about a system to become effective with it.

Across my roles, I've repeatedly had to learn new systems, equipment and processes quickly, understand how they work and apply that knowledge to real problems.

02 / HOW I WORK

Give me a problem. I'll figure it out.

01

Learn quickly

I pick up new systems, equipment and processes quickly and become productive without needing everything explained twice.

02

Think it through

I like understanding why something works the way it does, not just following a set of instructions.

03

Stay hands-on

I'm comfortable at a computer, working with technical equipment, or getting hands-on when the situation requires it.

04

Adapt

My experience spans IT, retail, production, logistics and warehouse operations. New environments are something I adapt to rather than avoid.

03 / EXPERIENCE

Career journey

Presented from current role backwards. Concurrent roles are shown separately rather than forcing them into a false sequence.
