What does your job involve?
– I am a team leader at what is called GIC ICT, which means I work in a data center. I am responsible for a team of eight people. A typical day for me, in my role, is about leading my team, planning the work and allocating tasks.
– In the data center, we work on installing and maintaining servers, switches and other equipment that our customers need in their test environments. We receive requests from support for things that need to be fixed. It could be cables that need to be replaced, switches that need to be rebooted or software that needs to be updated.
– A big part of my job is to optimize and improve the environments we work in, which I find exciting. No two days are the same and there are often new challenges and lessons learnt. The work is very varied, and I learn something new all the time. The environment in the data center is constantly changing, especially in testing and development. This means that there are always new things to learn and discover.
What is your background and education?
– Basically, I am a trained electrician from high school. Then when I started working, I went straight to working with fiber cabling in the field. Now I work with the technology of the future at data centers, which is both exciting and challenging. It’s rewarding to be involved in shaping tomorrow’s solutions.

What are the biggest challenges of your job?
