Practical support, live systems upkeep and evidence-led troubleshooting.
I'm interested in how systems operate, how they fail and how to keep them usable. My background combines technical support for private clients, live business upkeep and practical work across Windows, networks and security.

01 / PROFILE
PROFILE
I'm practical by nature and genuinely interested in how systems behave in day-to-day use.
Technical support for private clients, live business upkeep and hands-on projects have taught me to work from symptoms toward evidence, keep ownership clear and adapt quickly when the environment is unfamiliar.
I'm looking for daily responsibility around live systems, endpoints and users, where repeated exposure can turn broad foundations into proper depth, stronger judgement and faster troubleshooting.
Turn unclear problems into workable next steps, test what changes and keep the solution usable.
Adjust quickly to new clients, unfamiliar systems and changing constraints without losing the thread.
Keep ownership of the issue, communication and follow-up until the next action is clear.
Look past the symptom to understand the system, the dependency and why the behaviour changed.

EXPERIENCE
Self-employment built around dependable service delivery, client ownership, live operations and practical troubleshooting when technology interrupted the work.
E-commerce Administrator
I run day-to-day e-commerce operations across release setup, listings, stock, customer messages, packing and dispatch, keeping records and sales channels aligned. Alongside fulfilment, I maintain the website and troubleshoot printers, devices, software and connectivity when technical issues interrupt normal operations.
- Fulfilled 2.5k+ customer orders across Shopify, Discogs and Bandcamp through proactive stock, order and dispatch checks.
- Structured 70+ physical releases into repeatable manual workflows with retained records and clear fulfilment steps.
- Maintained listings, inventory and customer records across 3 active sales channels without losing release context.
- Resolved website, printer, device and connectivity issues affecting day-to-day store and fulfilment operations.

06 / PERSONAL
PERSONAL
Outside the technical work, most of my spare time still goes into studying, with music, collecting, guitar and driving somewhere unfamiliar sitting around it.
Studying
I'm highly self-directed and comfortable picking up a new topic, tool or lab without being walked through it. Curiosity about how things work and why they behave the way they do keeps pulling me into new technical areas.
Music
I keep up with niche scenes, independent artists and underground festivals when I have the time. Small rooms and people doing something because they genuinely care about it are usually where I find the most interesting stuff.
Media
I collect physical music and have somehow ended up with 2,000+ releases. I catalogue everything through Discogs, keep the archive in order and regularly disappear into fixing editions, metadata and missing details.
Guitar
I'm self-taught and mostly play for myself. I like having a guitar nearby while listening to a podcast or learning something new and just playing without breaking focus.
Exploration
I like driving somewhere unfamiliar, especially rivers, quiet natural areas and forgotten places. The appeal is simply finding somewhere overlooked and seeing what's there.
