About

With a career focused on technology & business, I am constantly trying to learn new things and take on new challenges to better develop myself as a person. As modern business begins to shift towards technology and innovation, I decided that I needed to upskill and develop myself more to better adapt with this shift. I structured my degree in commerce around business, growth, technology, and innovation. Thanks to new skills and experiences learned through the New Zealand Army, as a Heavy Automotive Engineer, and at the University of Otago I have generated a unqiue skill set which will allow me make contributions to companies and to the local community. Feel free to contact me and network on pte_stewart@hotmail.com .
