About
I am David Cao, an early-career IT and cybersecurity professional in Hobart. I like support work, security notes, small automation, and tools that make the next step obvious.
Who I Am
I am an early-career IT and cybersecurity professional based in Hobart. I am aiming for practical support and junior technical roles where the work is a mix of troubleshooting, documentation, access checks, user help, and careful follow-up.
Background
My background is not only technical. I worked in media, copywriting, and automotive journalism before moving into IT. That made me comfortable asking questions, sorting messy information, and turning technical details into something another person can actually use.
How I Work
I like small, testable steps. Check the symptom, check the log, check the account, write down what changed, and avoid pretending a guess is evidence. I use AI tools for research, coding, and drafting, but I still expect the result to survive a real check.
What I'm Looking For
I want to build a long-term IT career in Tasmania. I am looking for full-time on-site roles such as IT Support, Technical Support, Junior Systems Administrator, Junior Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, or related security support work where I can grow steadily and become useful to a local team.
Useful notes, tested tools, and calm troubleshooting beat louder dashboards.
