Talented ICT -Specialist
Working in Large and Converged Networks ie Broadband, VoIP, Cloud, Hosting and Hosted Services on Legacy and Virtual Environments. Manage System integration. Maintaining scalable platforms by HP, IMB, Dell, Cisco and Medical Grade equipment from Philips and MUSE. Major client sites comprise of +- 1500 users on a MS platform with varied back-ends of Hyper-V, VmWare, Linux, SQL. I enjoy the System Integration and the challenges it poses especially on such a large scale and having to co-ordinate with 3rd party vendors ie cabling companies, telephony agents, support teams and meeting client needs and specifications. The greatest learning curve is understanding the varied aspects of human nature especially under pressure. As the technical lead for the above-mentioned platforms, I feel the need to up skill the "juniors" as part of a "legacy" I would like to reflect upon one day. I believe in working smarter and NOT harder. Time management is the biggest obstacle I face in such a varied and diverse field
Pros: Multi Talented and experience
Cons: Being dedicated and passionate engrosses you with tunnel vision

I start work at 7am everyday, during the day I will receive documents that i have to log in and out of my document tracking system. A typical work day also includes the filing of documents, shredding of confidential work, printing, scanning, compiling documents, and helping clients via telephone or via email. I get along very well with all my co-workers and we have a good understanding of each others strengths and weaknesses. During my internship i have learnt many skills which include: salary payments, procurement, asset control, admin skills, and how to handle client queries. Gaining experience and learning new things is my main focus and its what i enjoy most about my job because I know the experience i get here will take me far. The most challenging aspects of my job is time management, deadlines, difficult clients, and zero perks for me.
