Tell us about your role at Nordlo
I’m a senior consultant, which is a technical resource at Nordlo who performs assignments relating to implementations, operation and consulting in the field of networks and security.
What is your work area?
I work a lot with networks and security. This involves firewalls, IPS, endpoint and server antivirus, encryption, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, scripting in PowerShell, password auditing, PKI and much more besides. My work takes the form of operation, implementation and consulting.
What did you do or work with in the past?
I started as a trainee in 2011, and soon after that I started handling my own clients and support. I spent a few years working on operating equipment at client’s premises, and I’ve been hired out to companies as both first and second line support. In 2015/2016 I moved over to focus purely on networks and security, and I’ve stayed with that area since then.
What does a normal working day look like for you?
I always start the day by checking the calendar to get an overview of the work to be done that day. A lot of messages will often arrive via email or Teams, which I help with. Operation of data centres and infrastructure at clients’ premises, and look for opportunities to improve the security solutions we offer.
