Growing up with computers and technology during their infancy, I learned from a very young age how to work and configure them; writing my first simple program in BASIC under MS DOS at the age of 5.

Working on and running the network systems at intermediate and high school, I designed and implemented my first domain based network system at the age of 15. I have since designed and implemented ICT infrastructure for numerous clients in the Manawatu, Wellington, and Auckland Regions.

CITPNZ is the professional accreditation for senior IT Professionals in New Zealand, and includes a comprehensive assessment of the professional competency, skills and knowledge appropriate for senior IT Professionals accountable and responsible for their work and the work of others.
