About

Hi - I'm Rick Ktorides, an IT Project Manager based out of Perth, Western Australia.

I started this blog as a creative way of sharing my experiences as a project manager - it's been such an amazing journey!!

It feels great to share knowledge, particularly if you are able to help solve a problem for someone or perhaps provide some inspiration.

Ok - so a little about me...ummm

Have a love / hate relationship with coffee
Insomniac by night - I fill the void by doing various things like project management articles and fluking my way through creating a website
Always seem to grossly underestimate how much time it takes to create content...it's got something to do with going down content rabbit holes...
Can't help using exclamation marks in documentation and emails and getting told off for doing so!!
Consider MS Excel to be the absolute best application ever - it can do anything!
Constantly have 1 million things open on my desktop and only reboot when the system has had enough and decides to crash in desperation...

Complimentary skills:

Working in IT since 1995 ... you know when ...
