What I do
我以技术架构师的身份澳门十大正规赌博娱乐平台6point6，之前我在投资银行部门招聘了多年的复杂技术职位. 在花了一段时间抚养我年轻的家庭之后，我想要一个新的挑战. I’d always gravitated to technology, 我意识到，我在人才招聘方面的职业生涯给了我一个完美的平台，让我对解决方案和企业架构有了更高层次的理解——因为我了解人与技术是如何协同工作的, end-to-end.
So I took the leap and retrained as an AWS Certified Solutions Architect. In May 2022, 我澳门十大正规赌博娱乐平台了6point6，开始了我在技术架构学院的结构化学习之旅, 结合我新获得的建筑知识和过去的商业咨询经验.
In my role, 我与企业和解决方案架构师密切合作，以确定改进客户系统和流程的方法, 帮助他们克服运营方面的挑战，满足业务需求. This is where I draw on my communication skills, 与不同领域和各级业务的利益相关者进行合作，并朝着共同目标逐步改变.
Since joining 6point6, 我有很多机会将我的技术学习和人际交往能力结合起来，帮助我们的客户实现最佳结果. 6point6最初吸引我的是他们在关键技术趋势领域提供的全面服务，但现在最让我兴奋的是有机会在公共部门项目中发挥作用. There’s no ‘small cog in a big wheel’ syndrome here at 6point6. I know that my work makes a direct and positive impact.
A day in my working life
我与客户打交道的工作既有趣又多样——通常包括与利益相关者会面, consolidating ideas or inputting to solution design. 6point6的技术架构学院意味着我们有专门的时间来学习和发展, 帮助我们跟上技术变革的步伐，并领先于不同云提供商的发展.
员工小组也是6point6生活的重要组成部分，它为我们的员工提供了参与他们关心的问题的机会. I’m a member of our Green Team, 如何在我们更广泛的客户和员工群体中促进可持续发展. Last year, we signed the Climate Pledge and introduced more sustainable benefits, 包括电动汽车计划，但我们也在不断地寻找 smarter ways to create more efficient, sustainable IT.
Everyone here is united by an ambition to succeed together, and 6point6 has allowed me to find the right work balance for myself. That means being trusted to work independently, 我对公司的贡献得到了认可，我在追求事业成功的同时也得到了支持——包括做三个男孩的母亲! 这是一个希望为每个人创造最好的环境来共同实现伟大的事业的地方, 通过广泛的社会价值项目，使我们能够将整个自我带到工作中.
Career highlights
在我的成就清单上，在人生的后期转向一项新的职业是很重要的. It was a bold move that came with lots of reflection and soul-searching. I realised that technology touches every aspect of our lives, and the industry needs a diverse mix of communicators, problem solvers, critical thinkers, and collaborators - so no matter your background, I believe there’s a role in tech for you. 作为一名技术架构师，我在获取人才的过程中磨练了一些技能，这些技能我每天都在使用——即使是为人父母，也让我具备了同时处理多项任务并有效沟通以达成共识的能力!
6point6是我发展技术架构技能的好地方. When I first joined the business, 我很快就理解了拥有多云技能为客户提供公正服务的重要性, platform-agnostic solutions that best meet their needs. 6point6对我的能力进行了投资，让我能够为客户增加价值，为我不断增长的技术工具包获得额外的认证.
