As an IT Support Engineer at the European Space Agency, I hold a multifaceted role that combines technical expertise with leadership responsibilities.
While my primary function involves providing essential end-user IT support to the organization, what I would end up doing falls under a much wider umbrella.

One of my notable achievements is the development of a sophisticated Business Intelligence platform. This platform enables the generation of insightful reports by harnessing data from our team's hardware replacements. This innovation enhances decision-making processes by providing valuable insights and analytics.

During an extensive two-and-a-half-year Office365 user migration project, I assumed the role of a Senior Support Technician. This role not only required technical proficiency but also leadership skills. I actively engaged with users, addressing their concerns and ensuring a seamless transition to the new platform. My leadership abilities played a crucial role in the project's success by ensuring colleagues were following the correct protocols.

I have a solid amount of experience when it comes to operating system support (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS), Microsoft 365, Microsoft Intune/Entra, JAMF, and procedure writing.

I worked at Maxitec, a reputable internet service provider in South Africa, with a rich history dating back to 1998. During my time there, I wore multiple hats, serving as a troubleshooter for various technical issues, overseeing installations, and even developing small software tools to enhance the company's operations. Maxitec also supported my educational pursuits, allowing me to further my knowledge and skills. It was a dynamic and rewarding experience, contributing to the company's mission of delivering internet services directly to end-users in South Africa.

I had been finding it increasingly difficult to curate my music library properly.
Through music streaming services, I had fallen into the trap of "consuming". I had tried out an iPod as a way of regaining control, however while the intended goal was reached, I'm also someone that hates carrying tons of stuff on me.

Enter JellyPod! An app being developed by myself using Swift set to release on iOS (and later macOS) that allows the user to connect to a self hosted Navidrome or Jellyfin server to "sync" music from to listen offline.
To force curation, I introduced some friction through means of limiting how much the user can keep "synced".

When a close friend of mine started his new company, All Hours IT, he was in need of a website that would represent his business. I set out to design, develop and host a website in roughly the space of 3 months. The website also needed a safe and secure contact form, which was why I ended up using Python for the backend to dispatch mail.
