When I sent around an email asking our team to respond to my questions for the Humans of Digital Pacific posts, I got a vast range of effort in the returned responses.
On an effort scale of Lee to Mitch, Mitch is definitely at the Mitch end.
His responses are so thorough, they weren’t easily condensed on to a card (click the card to enlarge!).
For the sake of consistency with the rest of our staff profiles, he’s going to get haphazardly carded up anyway, but his full answers (including accompanying graphics) continue below.
What do you spend your time doing at Digital Pacific?
The Operations Team is primarily responsible for the day-to-day operation of our dedicated server, cloud hosting and VPS services including quality assurance and service availability and provide a point of escalation to our level 1 and level 2 service desk staff for complex issues across our entire service portfolio.
What is/are your favourite thing(s) about where you sit in the office currently?
The “brains-trust” that sit around me. Being part of the Operations team I have learnt (and am still learning) a huge amount about things I didn’t even know I wanted to learn.
Oh I guess the fish tank is cool too!
Who is your favourite GoT character and why?
How did your first week at DP go and what were your first impressions?
My first week was daunting yet exciting! It was the biggest change I had ever made. I had gone from being a guy who liked to fix computers and not knowing what a “Linux” was, to jumping in feet first with the command line and all things web hosting.
Since then I have not looked back and within 2 years I was a Sys Admin.
Favourite food?
Depending on how specific you want to get, overall it is definitely a solid burger, but to be specific the Blame Canada from Bar Luca, it is everything you ever wanted and more.
Favourite drink?
Like any good Sys Admin, coffee! Not just one though, multiple, at least 2, probably 3, and all before lunch!
Favourite song?
Looking at my play count, it would say Drake – Hold On, We’re Going Home, followed by Disturbed – Stricken.
Neither of those seem right though. I am going to say Adele – Make You Feel My Love.
*Disclaimer: My wife walked down the aisle to this song.
2-3 things that make you happy!
My family – First and foremost, every single time!
Video Games – For the times when it is the family giving me grief.
Music – Because everyone loves music!
