Hello, welcome to my profile.I am Rajiv.

Master of IT graduate based in Adelaide. Over the last few years I've supported business applications, written a fair amount of SQL to track down data issues, and built small pieces of software along the way. Right now I'm leaning further into data analysis, with data engineering as the longer-term goal.

A recruiter-friendly read of where I fit best.

Master of IT graduate with hands-on experience across application support, SQL-backed data analysis, and software delivery. Currently completing a Professional Year Program and actively seeking IT support, data analyst, or junior software developer roles across Australia, with data engineering as the longer-term goal.

Role direction

Best suited to IT application support, support technician, data analyst, and junior software developer roles, with data engineering as the next step.

Working style

Structured, detail-first, ownership-driven

I gather requirements carefully, troubleshoot systems methodically, validate data thoroughly, and explain things clearly to both technical and non-technical people.

Background

Master of IT + real delivery across support & data

Application systems support backed by practical delivery context.

I support business applications, user workflows, Microsoft 365, Windows environments, and web-based systems. I also bring hands-on context from websites, APIs, hosting, deployment, troubleshooting, and data-aware issue investigation.
