I'm Tristan Findley

I have worked and cooperated with Tristan for a whole academic year. There were many times that immediate action and creative solutions were required, and I think that Tristan's problem-solving attitude and professionalism contributed to the successful outcome of each task.

Tristan is a great asset to us in the IT support for our department at Royal Holloway. He's attended to my computer & network needs with great speed, efficiency, accuracy & courtesy. He won't stand for any nonsense over security issues though, which is an excellent trait if you have bolshy managers that want too much BYOD, yet is always happy to spend a few minutes talking about his hobbies - and we've made good use of his photographic abilities as a result.

I have often asked Tristan for advice on many aspects of computer systems -- setting them up, what to buy, strategy, types of software available, methods of teaching, digital sound, and other things that I presently forget. Tristan is very knowledgeable and he has always been very helpful, even though I have not been in the group that he supports directly.

Tristan was an able administrator of the computer systems and cheerily responded to requests for help.

I worked with Tristan during my time in the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. I always found him to be very approachable and enthusiastic about his job. I also found him to be very skilled and committed to his work.

Tristan is an enthusiastic, conscientious and very knowledgeable member of the team who is always willing to seek solutions and new ideas and apply them to his day-to-day work. Since joining Royal Holloway, Tristan has been extremely helpful to me and I look forward to working with him for many years in the future.

Tristan is a solid technician who can make any OS sing! His photography is pretty amazing too, I can honestly say the ISG Technical team are all excellent, and Tristran is an Exemplar!

I have known Tristan Findley for more than 5 years while he has been Systems Administrator for the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. Appointed when I was Director of the Information Security Group, we chose Tristan for his technical ability and willingness to engage with our users who have a varied understanding of network systems. Tristan has fulfilled our needs admirably and has developed his skills so that he now delivers some laboratory-based aspects of our MSc in Information Security. Tristan is a sociable person who has become a character within the group and takes a keen interest in all its aspects. He has initiative and is willing to put forward ideas for changes to enhance both network provisions and day-to-day running of the group. I am pleased to provide this recommendation for Tristan.

Tristan has excellent interpersonal, organisational skills and technical knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a company that were undertaking a review of his professional skills.

Tristan is without doubt very able, extremely knowledgable and highly committed to his job.
