About Me
I’m a multidisciplinary professional with over a decade of experience across manufacturing operations, CAD/CNC systems, and IT infrastructure — now advancing my career in cloud engineering. As Manufacturing Manager at Kitchens for Less, I’ve led teams, streamlined digital workflows, and bridged production with software-driven efficiency.
Currently, I’m studying toward a NZQA Level 7 Diploma in Cloud Engineering at Yoobee Colleges (specialising in AWS and Azure), and previously completed a Level 6 Cert in Intermediate Software Development at Future Skills Academy with an A+ grade. My homelab experiments include Proxmox, TrueNAS, VLANs, Portainer stacks, and local AI agents — blending real-world problem solving with scalable cloud-native design.
I thrive at the intersection of software, systems, and operations. Whether deploying hybrid cloud infrastructure, designing resilient backups, or building AI-powered workflows — I bring hands-on initiative and cross-domain fluency to every solution.
