04 — Background
Who I Am

I'm an IT professional based in Christchurch, New Zealand with a hands-on approach to keeping infrastructure healthy and users productive. I thrive in environments where reliability isn't optional.

My work spans the full IT stack — from physical networking and server rooms to cloud-hosted identities and Microsoft 365 tenants. I care about clean documentation, clear communication, and systems that don't wake anyone up at 3am.

"Great IT is invisible. The goal is infrastructure people trust without ever having to think about it."
