Introduction

Computer Science graduate with a strong understanding of network engineering protocols and software development. I'm highly motivated to learn and develop new skills throughout my career in all areas of Computer Science. 

I recently relocated to Sydney, Australia after living and working in Tokyo, Japan for five and a half years as an IT Support/Network Engineer. I supported various local and multinational clients, including Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg, Wework, Regus, Shure and Tripadvisor. I possess excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with an ability to work under pressure when procedures don't go according to plan. I'm an effective communicator with strong leadership skills that have enabled me to confidently make decisions for myself or in a team environment. All of which are evidenced throughout my work experience and at University.
