🧔 Opportunities

While I’m not actively searching, I’m always open to roles where I can contribute meaningfully, learn something new, challenge me and continue growing.I bring a strong foundation in technical support, hardware diagnostics, and field testing paired with a genuine curiosity for how things work, a methodical approach to problem-solving, and a close attention to detail. If something feels like a good fit, I’m happy to explore it and have a conversation.

If it challenges me, I’m probably interested.

• More About Me

🏆 Achievements

I’ve survived system crashes, Genius Bar queues, and London commutes, fixed repairs that shouldn’t have been fixable, delivered field testing work ahead of schedule, and somehow still managed to be helpful, precise, and on time.

Over 50,000 threaded screws removed so far.

How I Work (When No One’s Watching)

Whether it’s a crash log, a repair pattern, or an odd user behaviour, I don’t just accept things as they are I dig. I like understanding the why behind problems, which often helps surface deeper issues before they become bigger ones.

🧠 I Learn Fast and Quietly

I’m not loud about learning, but I absorb things quickly. Whether it’s jumping into field-testing jargon or picking up automation basics, I get comfortable with new systems fast and usually find a better way to do things once I understand the landscape.

🤖 I Like Breaking Things

There’s something satisfying about testing a system until it cracks and then working out why it did. My Field Design Engineering experience taught me how to test methodically, escalate effectively, and speak both end-user and engineering languages.

🧩 I Spot the Gaps

I often find myself noticing when something’s missing whether it’s a test case, a customer edge scenario, or a dev overlooked detail. I don’t always shout about it, but I flag it, log it, and fix it when I can.

↩️ Previous Employment

Did a lot of useful things. Didn’t always write them down.

Each job added something I didn’t know I needed.

• Education

🎮 VMC

Between 2015 and 2019, I worked as a remote Game Tester for VMC where my main mission was to break things (on purpose), then explain exactly how I broke them (in painful detail).Over the years, I identified and documented 100+ quality bugs, tracked high-priority issues across builds, and became fluent in writing clear, reproducible test cases. Whether it was a glitchy animation, a game-breaking loop, or a typo in a death screen, I logged it all. I also adapted test cases on the fly and collaborated with teams to make sure each fix actually stuck.

🍽️ Hospitality (2005–2016)

I started in hospitality in 2007 as a glass collector and worked my way up to General Manager, running bars, pubs, and restaurants across London. Over the years, I covered everything from tills to tech managing teams, training staff, handling stock and audits, and building rotas that actually worked (most of the time).I took pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, whether that meant fixing the Wi-Fi when it failed mid-shift or jumping behind the bar during a Friday night rush. I also supported sister venues when they needed an extra hand or just someone who could fix the printer without making it worse.Those years taught me how to lead under pressure, stay calm in chaos, and solve problems before they became visible.

📜 Certifications

I didn’t follow a traditional academic path most of what I know, I’ve learned through hands-on experience, curiosity, and a lot of late-night deep dives into Coursera and documentation.
I may not have a degree, but I’ve earned my education one solved problem at a time.

Qualified by competency, not permission.

🏸 Hobbies & Interests

It started with “just curious if…” and ended with a drone license, a rescue charity, a 3D printer in the hallway, and more gadgets than space in my room.

Every hobby started with “I wonder what happens if…”
