Luke Manning
IT Consultant / IT Manager
Sydney and NSW, Australia
I currently work as IT Manager for a number of diverse small and medium businesses across Sydney and NSW. This role covers everything from user support to quoting and project management as well as deploying hardware and software solutions.
I hold a double degree in Engineering (Bioinformatics) and Science (Genetics) from UNSW (2013). While the scientific knowledge isn't heavily used day-to-day, the critical thinking skills and programming competencies I developed at uni have proven consistently useful.
I have a passion for scripting and automation both at work and at home. This has led me to various projects in web and Android app development, as well as smart home automation.
