Professional Statement:
I consider myself hard working, ambitious candidate, with a determination to succeed. I am able to build good working relationships with all levels of seniority, reliable, punctual and very presentable. I am self-motivated with a burning desire to learn at any opportunity, able to work as part of a team or equally well on my own initiative. I have 1st line to 3rd line support knowledge. I am now seeking a challenging role that will test my technical expertise and teach me new skills in an interesting and motivating environment.
The gap between RedStone to recent is because, I had a passing in my family and I had to leave the country for a number of months to get it all sorted out. I have taken on contracts roles until i find a full time position
