About Me

Hi, I'm Aya!

With a wealth of experience in IT systems, from programming to networking, I have a passion for technology systems and implementation of the best solutions I can find.

I have worked with IT Systems in both retail and education settings and I understand the vast difference in the handling of IT systems in different organisational environments.

Utilising this well of experience I can adapt my work to fit a variety of workplace environments.
