Previous to his entering the world of IT Grant gained real world experience in commercial enterprises which, as a "consumer of IT Services" gave him a very clear understanding of the value of a dollar and the frustrations non-technical people have dealing with Information Technology.

While working with the MidCentral DHB (2006-2010 and 2012-2022), first in the Information Systems (Digital Services) team (2012-2017), and then in the Analytics and Business Advisory team (2017-2022), Grant was provided opportunity to manage projects and staff, and develop software applications and analytical dashboards. He continues to offer his services to the Analytics and Finance teams whenever they require his skill set.

"The MidCentral DHB Analytics team is fine bunch of folk" he reflects, "As with most who work in health they consistently do more with less. I have been left in awe at the dedication and high levels of discretionary effort these folk put in. They really do understand that there are people in need at the end of everything they do."

The MidCentral DHB Analytics team exposed Grant to the QLIK Sense Analytics tool which he worked with for over 2 years.

From 2010 to 2012 Grant worked with the Deparment of Internal Affairs's collaborating with their Web Enablement team as a Lotus Notes web developer. The Web Enablement team would supply HTML mock ups for Grant to convert to dynamic HTML using the Lotus Notes/Domino Server groupware.

In 2022 Grant started work as a Full Stack Web Developer for findatruckload.co.nz using c#, .net framework, .net core, and Angular JS.

Grant is the Owner/Director of Code Out Loud Limited, and with his "co-colaborators" offers his services as a analyst and software developer.
