About Me

Experienced Senior Developer. Skilled in the full Microsoft stack with a focus on web, cloud and API development. Qualified with a Bachelor of Information Systems. Currently applying my trade in the sports industry.

Scott Brownhill

Senior Developer.

From the day back in the 90’s when my father said to me we couldn’t get a new computer as it didn’t make us any money, I was destined to be an IT professional. My father was a builder, a carpenter, so the desire to build things is in my DNA. I build solutions not with hammer and nail but keyboard and mouse. From those early days of messing around in the MS-DOS command prompt to the current landscape of cloud computing my desire to build things remains as strong as ever.

Over the years I have acquired many tangible skills, mostly self taught or garnered from colleagues. But more importantly I have developed soft skills, skills that make up my approach to solution development. My CV demonstrates my technical commercial skills but it’s my personal traits that have got me to where I am today. I take a methodical process driven approach to problems. I am a friendly approachable person that enjoys challenges and coming up with innovative solutions. I love to research and find new technologies, new ways of doing things. Analysing, trying, thinking of the possibilities.

I am qualified with a Bachelor of Information Systems. Over the next couple of years I plan on certifying my skills by completing Microsoft Azure certifications.

Outside of the office I am a family man. In summer I play cricket with the Pigeon Mountain Cricket Club, and football for the Manurewa Football Club in winter. I love watching sport and in particular rugby league and football.
