Zwift is an online ordering startup based in Melbourne (think of UberEats, Deliveryhero and Seamless). My role as a technician was to ensure clients received the orders and customers received their meals 100% of the time. Here I learnt how to handle the pressure and heat. --Quick story below-- Picture this... it's 7pm on a Saturday night and the peak time of online ordering - people want their pizzas and take out dinner! The primary server crashes, and hundreds of online meal orders have not reached the client side. You try to reboot the primary server but it's not working. Luckily you can divert orders to a secondary server. Your clients (the restaurant owners) realise that the service is down and call in for help. The secondary server crashes too and all orders are converted to manual mode. This is when you call through the orders one by one - but there's 100s to do... The phones are buzzing with 8 concurrent calls from clients. And you're the only one in the office, as you always are, it's a weekend and you're working dinner service hours. Customer's have now arrived at restaurants to pick up their orders... but the restaurants have no records because the servers are down! The phone line is now buzzing non stop. "Take a deep breath and think," I say after swearing, "dedicate the most time to fixing the issue that will deal with the majority of the issues". I try and fix the servers while handling calls with the restaurant owners. Here I learnt how to prioritise and fix the root cause. I learnt how to manage our brand and deliver damage control. I learnt how to put out fires. I was 20 at the time. Show less
