This month our Digital Marketing Executive, Jessen Armstrong, will be putting Cloud Services Engineer, Katie McAdam, under the spotlight.

Katie has been working with Leaf for 4 years now after she graduated from the Ulster University with a degree in Computer and Information Sciences and Support services. She’s been honing her skills as a Cloud Services engineer ever since.

Jessen: Hi Katie! Could you give your area of expertise as a Cloud Services Engineer?

Katie: I work as part of the Service Delivery Team, working with several platforms such as Office365, SonicWALLs, Mimecast, CloudAlly and Veeam to name a few.

Jessen: Could you describe the best parts of your job?

Katie: I enjoy working as part of a team where everyone is always happy to help. I enjoy the new challenges I am faced with every day, and finding solutions to problems for the team and our customers. As well as this, learning something new on a daily basis.

Jessen: What’s your favourite technology?

Katie: I love how smart technology like Amazon Alexa’s are being more involved with daily life and can be used to complete the simplest of tasks. They are great because you can integrate them with both home and work life.

Jessen: What are your hobbies outside of work?

Katie: I love a good hike up the Mourne Mountains. I also enjoy travelling and getting to see new places; when I can I enjoy camping too. I regularly went to concerts before the pandemic, and love listening to music.
