It’s a little surprising that Alistair got into IT: after all, his family has farmed cattle for five generations. We’re certainly glad that he did, though, as he’s become an invaluable part of the Bigfish Team over the last eight years.

 

After leaving his small town on the Upper Murray, he studied IT at TAFE. He was attracted to the subject because it’s so logical and black and white. There’s always a solution; you just need to be able to figure it out. And that’s what Alistair still loves about working in the IT sector. Solving IT problems for his partners and contributing to their success is often the most rewarding part of his work.

 

Over the last eight years, Alistair has come to value the opportunities he’s had to grow within Bigfish. He also takes pride in the deep and lasting relationships that we build with our customers (which is something we care about as well).

 

Alistair’s favourite projects are those where he can help companies undergo a complete infrastructure overhaul or migration. These types of jobs are the ultimate test, and they require a large skill set and a knowledge base that covers all the software and hardware a client uses – in addition to great communication and project management skills. He’s currently working one of these jobs in the Azure space and recently completed one for a large medical clinic. He enjoys these intense tasks because they require a lot of planning and preparation – and when he completes the upgrades, the positive changes are always noticeable to the client!

 

When he’s not being an IT wizard, he’s spending time with his fiancé and their young son, getting out on his motorcycle (although not as often as he’d like, unfortunately) and playing some ice hockey – which is his other passion.
