Digital Content, Software and Hardware Technician

03/2025 – Present
The Solution House, Wetherby

End-to-end content production and technical support for digital signage projects, from initial brief to installation. I handle asset creation, bespoke app builds, and branding across a client roster that includes Jet2, Morrisons, Lidl, and Sally Beauty.

Daily, I am juggling 5–10 support tickets simultaneously through Jira, which range from quick content tweaks to complex hardware faults that need real troubleshooting.

Beyond client work, I produce content for The Solution House itself — social media, client showcase reels, and WordPress content changes etc. I also handle internal IT support, which includes everything from software troubleshooting to hardware maintenance and network issues.

Tools I use daily:

- Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro)
- WordPress (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- Visual Studio
- Viplex Express/Handy and NovaLCT
- Jira and Trello
- Microsoft 365 (Office, Teams, OneDrive, Exchange, etc.)
