I stepped into this project as Project Manager after it had started, but the key Solution Architect had left the business. I therefore needed to provide some guidance for the project delivery but also leverage my own technical skill to support the consultant.

There were a number of issues from workshop that had not been resolved and so the first task was to align with the client on what had been agreed. I then looked at identifying change requests from the client and arranged this into a Gap Analysis with estimates as to effort.

During deployment I was able to get hands on in designing the main Nimsoft/UIM Monitoring Dashboard using the built in tooling, I also leveraged my experience with ITAM discovery to assist with setting up the SNMP traps, despite not really being familiar with the tool.

The client were very satisfied that despite the loos of our Solution Architect, the project was handled carefully and delivered as expected.

]]> During my time as a consultant I have worked to develop various digital health checks to assist companies with taking a tempurature test of their IT systems and strategy. The view of health checks is sometimes that they are just a tool to drum up more business – which to an extent is true, but the health checks I developed have been critical in assisting companies to identify risks, avoid costly mistakes and pinpoint the source of complaints.

I have developed comprehensive health checks for BMC Discovery, Kubernetes, NFS and PostgreSQL. I have also developed exception reporting on data pipelines for data quality assessment. The health checks I have developed have saved customers in the following areas:

  • Identified security vulnerabilities around plaintext usernames and passwords storage
  • Identified issues around NFS performance
  • Identified opportunities for license reclaimation
  • Identified usage patterns for insecure practices (i.e. logging in as root user)
  • Identified various misconfigurations in non-alignment with best practices

]]> Over the years I have offered my services as a reader for those with disabilities taking exams. It’s very simple work but also very rewarding to assist someone to get a certification (and inform them that they passed).

You’re not actually allowed to have any personal interaction at all, but you can enjoy their reaction all the same.

Recently I have taken up a part-time contracting role as an Online Assessor for a training partner supporting the University of Oxford’s Aritificial Intelligence Programme.
