Summary

A seasoned professional who has initiative and technical knowledge. Competent in team environments and has versatile skills.

My current role requires a lot of travel to Sydney which doesn't align with my desired lifestyle. The goal is to work in a local location and be a part of a tight knit team that has a culture of development and encouragement that I can be a part of long term.
