Hired as an Infrastructure Consultant, my position with Intergen was typified by a self-determined direction of effort. My role evolved into three focal areas: operations management, infrastructure design, and business development. As an operations manager I focused on managing an 11 person, 24/7 operations team that supported our hosting services, developing our business offerings, and producing core infrastructure design with a focus on security and efficient scalability. As a consultant I was provided both internal and external consulting. In an internal consulting capacity I provided design and proposal work for multi-million dollar RFPs and in my external consulting capacity I provided infrastructure, security, and IT strategy external consulting to New Zealand’s largest businesses and government departments.
