I am a motivated and analytical project manager with more than 15 years engineering experience in IT and eCommerce throughout many industries. Offering expertise via organised problem solving, budgeting and forecasting to reach postive results. I favour applying a structured approach that focuses on clearly articulating insights to a wide range of people and stakeholders. In addition I am highly adaptable, enjoy high-performance settings and comfortable with ambiguity.
In my current role at Akamai Professional Services I work directly with Akamai's global clients to deliver stellar solutions. It's my responsibilty to lead and manage the integration of customer websites to enhance performance and provide greater security. I have a full understanding of development methodologies, consulting best practices, and common web and application architectures. Demonstrating a strong technical background, excellent client and project management skills, a proven ability to perform hands-on technical work when needed, and the ability to lead projects and global teams.
Engineering and delivering projects, standards and guardrails utilising new technology to easyJet within a hybrid hosting environment. Primarily working with Amazon Web Services, whilst also demonstrating working knowledge of Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform; including working with a “private cloud” datacentre. Following agile delivery to standardise easyJet’s approach to consuming these services, the role required testing and evaluating which technology to use through implementation of proof of concepts, whilst documenting standards and implementing guardrails to ensure compliance. I displayed a heavy focus and capability on working cross functionally with internal and external teams following a DevOps methodology.
From project kick-offs to stakeholder meetings, I create meaningful relationships with co-workers, and articulate a clearly established vision of what is to be achieved with our clients.
High standards for communication, productivity, and professionalism throughout our team. Always avoiding assigning blame when problems are faced, I always choose to maintain standards and partner with the team to take on challenges together to share knowledge and enable individual and collective development.
As a former engineer, I aim to "speak the language" of our subject matter experts enabling better communication and swift visibility of any blockers or risks to any project. I'm always learning, and endeavour to remain on the learning curve to keep abreast of emerging technologies to deliver what is required.
By remaining objective, analyzing the facts, and evaluating options without bias, I am able to solve complex problems for clients while delivering results on time and within budget. By being proactive and transparent it's easier to navigate through tricky or ambiguous projects.
