Nimbus Blue is delighted to welcome Greg Johnston as the newest system engineer to the team.
With an impressive breadth of technical expertise and a proven ability to solve complex client challenges, Greg is set to drive innovation and enhance service delivery.
In his new role, Greg is responsible for a range of critical tasks. His daily duties include managing client projects, ensuring that they are completed within scope and on time, and acting as a technical escalation point for the support team.
Reflecting on his role, he shared: "My day to day is to deal with client projects, ensuring that they are completed within scope and timescale. I also provide a technical escalation point for the support team, with a little bit of everyday support thrown in for good measure."
Greg has a well-rounded technical foundation, with a particular specialisation in Microsoft SharePoint and Power Automate. This expertise is expected to be instrumental in streamlining processes and delivering bespoke solutions that directly contribute to our clients' business success.
What sets Greg apart is his passion for the dynamic nature of the IT field. He explains: "That no day is the same. You have to be ready to pivot between lots of different tasks when required while still providing a high level of service for clients."
His enthusiasm for embracing change and tackling new challenges aligns perfectly with Nimbus Blue’s commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.
Alongside his professional insights, Greg offered some practical advice for anyone in the IT sphere: "Use keyboard shortcuts wherever possible. It can be a bit slower at first, but they become second nature and save you lots of time."
He also highlighted a common security oversight - using the same password for multiple accounts. He said: "A lot of people use the same password for all their accounts. If someone gets access to that password, then your accounts are compromised. The use of a trusted password manager, automatically generated passwords, along with MFA, makes accounts much more secure."
Outside of his technical role, Greg brings a unique personal touch to the team. Not many know that he holds a Black Belt in Tae Kwon-Do - a testament to his discipline, focus and commitment, qualities that undoubtedly enhance his professional contributions.
A surprising insight from Greg underscores the often-overlooked efforts of IT teams: "The number of tasks scheduled and monitored by IT teams that run outside of business hours to keep environments running smoothly."
This behind-the-scenes work is crucial to ensuring seamless business operations, and Greg’s experience in managing such tasks will no doubt benefit Nimbus Blue’s clients.
