I most enjoy helping people and organisations optimise their technology investments and develop tactics and strategies for appropriate IT deployments. The constantly changing IT landscape energises me, intrigues me, and challenges me to learn and grow so that I may reliably advise and guide my peers as I am likewise mentored by them.
