Joseph Scott MBCS
A purpose driven IT professional forever ready to learn new technologies and work with all different clients to solve their IT problems. I strive to be an approachable problem solver willing to help others achieve through the application of IT.
I began my career in the family business – a specialist wood based panel products import and distribution business – where for for 9 years I worked on improving internal IT systems as well developing and executing a marketing strategy. Growing in confidence and abilities I then made the change to full time technical consultant with a specialisation for Microsoft SQL Server in the financial systems market. There I worked with clients in many different sectors implementing accountancy and spend control systems. My role also called upon my IT skills to help transition the business to fully remote working team offering cloud solutions.
After reaching the end of what I could do in the financial software sector I embarked upon a career break. I focused on transforming the skills and knowledge I have acquired into capabilities in data platforms, programming skills, Linux based solutions, and increasingly exploring the capabilities but also dangers of AI.
Mental health causes are important to me both personally and professionally. In 2022 I became a facilitator for the Huddersfield group of Andy’s Man Club and in 2023 helped set up a new group in Mirfield. Together the facilitator team are on a mission to make sure men can have a safe place to open up and talk about what’s on their mind. #ITSOKTOTALK.
