Experience / 2022—NowMalawi → Queensland

Operating across the gaps between systems.

My path began in software, moved through hospital IT and field-tested technology, and now runs through managed services. Each chapter added another layer to how I understand and operate systems.

02 / Project chapter2023—2024
Conservation technology / supported innovation

Project originator / software developer

Created E-Forest and helped move it from an unaffordable university concept through supported prototype development, system integration, iteration, and testing in real forest conditions.

  • Build

    Contributed across edge software, applications, data flow, and system integration.

  • Field

    Supported data collection, prototype deployment, testing, and ranger training.

  • Team

    Worked with a later collaborator who focused mainly on hardware and also assisted with software.

03 / InternshipJun—Dec 2022
Nkhoma Mission Hospital / Malawi

IT Officer Intern

Supported staff and hospital technology while gaining early exposure to the connection between user support, network and server infrastructure, email, databases, and operational software.

  • Support

    Assisted with staff hardware, software, workstation, and network issues.

  • Systems

    Worked around on-premises Exchange, server infrastructure, and databases supporting hospital information workflows.

  • Build

    Built a web-based procurement system during the internship.

A useful escalation carries context.

When an Outlook data file repeatedly exceeded practical limits during an IMAP sync, I investigated, rebuilt the local sync state, reproduced the failure, and passed the diagnostic context to a senior engineer when the issue required a different migration path.

That case reinforced a practical rule: investigate within scope, preserve the useful evidence, and make the next engineer faster.
