IT Operations Engineer at Metric Gaming

At Metric Gaming, I worked remotely as part of a diverse team of eight professionals spread across various countries, which honed my ability to collaborate effectively in a global and multicultural setting. I gained hands-on experience in managing containerized applications using Kubernetes and implemented continuous deployment strategies with ArgoCD. My role also involved setting up system monitoring and performance analysis using tools like Grafana and Datadog, which were new to me but quickly became essential to our operations.



Additionally, I was responsible for managing user and device authentication and security through Jump Cloud, as well as administering platforms like Slack, Jira, and Bitbucket. This ensured smooth communication and efficient project management for our remote team. I oversaw user onboarding and offboarding processes, resolved technical issues via Jira tickets, and played a key role in incident management, providing support during both major and minor incidents.



One of my significant contributions was developing scripts to monitor and manage device uptime, and updating the Onboarding process to prevent issues for day one processes

Whilst in this role I have quickly learned ITOP-ITIL processes and improved upon my technical knowledge around Windows domain controllers IIS Google solutions groups networks and admin.

Would own requests and incidents that were escalated from service desk. Work with multitude of departments and areas on solutions to issues and deploy them.

I would also carry out timely checks on various systems and servers utilizing SolarWinds remote access, remote desktop connections and browser based remote desktop environments. This could also include checking various cisco networks diagnosing any issues and passing along major issues to dedicated network team / field engineers. I was also able to use my skills to go above where possible if an issue had a fix I was confident in I would document everything done in the ticketing system to ensure visibility and what has happened to fix the user issue if it helps for future reference.

While I was very confident and fluent in Office 365 applications (power automate, Access, Publisher, Word, Outlook, Admin) I was able to quickly develop the transferable skills to google suite of apps.



In short, I self-managed and ensured essential tasks were completed on schedule and for specific tickets knew when to include extra teams / persons to complete requests and fix incidents in agreed SLA time frames. And continued to self-learn and increase my skill set as I always intended to do.
