Bio
Mark Read
I had the pleasure of working with Graeme for over 7 years, he has a creative and positive can-do attitude and drive as a Senior IT Analyst professional which made him an absolute pleasure to work with. Graeme continually delivered results, went above and beyond in providing exceptional service and support, and showed genuine integrity and respect. Graeme was enthusiastic, personable and a brilliant networker. His strengths in staying across issues, pro-actively offering solutions and ideas and being adept at all aspects of communications made him a valuable contributor to any situation or team.

Graeme and I were part of the same team for 2 and a half years at Make Architects, he was the Senior IT Analyst in the team. During this time Graeme was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, always keen to help and to collaborate with me to effectively solve problems. He has a very technical and strategic mind when it comes to infrastructure and maintaining systems, in particular the technologies Graeme managed were VMware ESXi and NetApp, he was also heavily involved Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SCCM and various other 3rd party solutions. One thing I learned from Graeme was dedication when working with problems and issues that are more complicated and serious than normal, he would always work tirelessly until the problem had been resolved. I'd happily work with Graeme again in the future given the opportunity.
