my job

For every post, my goal is to optimise my main traits: Adaptive and Structured. Whether it's practical, a direct learning material or an analogy, I try to find any ounce of relation that might have with applied Cybersecurity. 

What is my job, really? 

I adapt for a living. As a matured ICT Consultant working for a coastal university, my troubleshooting approach is cool, calm and collected; sharp when needed.  

More about me

Raised by a survivor of a domestic abused mother in the 90s, I had learnt throughout my hyperstrict + turbulent upbringing the value of grit and adaptive communication that served useful whenever I resolved technology problems from staff, students and colleagues that come from different walks of life. And with the unique circumstance of working in the peripheral of a leadership office from different departments, I'd slowly but certainly found inspiration from them over the years in finding my own collaborative voice while carrying a decisive and convincing wit that results in productive conversations. 

I am also an experienced generalist IT rostered at an approachable public space. This opened up diverse interactions with different cultures and personalities that aided my growth in solving a variety of technology problems. I'd actively assisted on urgent technology incidents and carry a natural interest in cybersecurity. Some of the variety of clients I had the opportunity to deal with included: TedX, ASB, ANZ, Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty Council, Priority One, STEM Festival, Waikato Uni Senior Leadership, AquaHeat, RedBadge Security, Toi Ohomai Polytech and counting.   

No AI Rule

Speaking fluent with two languages unfortunately resulted to a bad case of occasional stuttering whenever I switched to New Zealand English and for perpetual mitigation, I had started this blog to help keep a sharp wit. Prompting AI for this would've really only been a way to cheat myself out of growth, so consider my atrocious grammar to be a form of subpar digital signature.
