Omitted details for now...

Professional, experienced and detail orientated Mac system administrator committed to all Apple (and other) technologies. Projected driven and motivated to drive projects from start to finish. Genuine passion for all things Apple. I have enthusiastic point of view, a great will to do my best at all times and working hard is second nature to me. I enjoy tackling problems head-on and will not rest until the problem is solved. I’m always hungry to learn new things and I’m able to grasp new skills in a short period of time. Career progression is very important to me due to my ambitious nature and I’m always ready to take on more responsibility.

Keen to move into software development as I have been tinkering for a long time.
I am very interested in the DevOps methodology and learning all I can.
