Shockbyte is a game server provider, launched with intentions of providing the highest quality services at the lowest possible price. They're a registered business in Australia and have been providing our services since March 2013, making them one of the longest running Minecraft hosts. I enjoy working as a Support Operator as it really helps me to improve my social skills, whilst giving me a nice community to engage with.

Within Shockbyte, I have also moved into the roles of Developer, and of Incident Manager.

I founded Squeezebox Development in January 2019, and MyCloud in March 2019. I've worked hard to build up those two companies, and decided with the help of some employees to unite them under The Squeezebox Group. Although they still operate somewhat separately, it's nice to be able to have a group name for them.

I have developed many skills whilst working at The Squeezebox Group including web development and product design. I worked hard to make the products sound as appealing as possible for our client base.

I created the Ethereal Network from the ground up to be easy-to-use for the community, and be community oriented. I left the team in May 2019, although I gained lots of experience from that which has helped me with my job at Shockbyte. I spent hours configuring plugins to make them work seamlessly on the network, and spent a long time working out how the UX for the network could be at its best.

I started learning Java by contributing to this Discord bot, owned by a small team of eager developers. This has shown my ability to learn new things quickly, and work with a small team of people to produce a product. I have helped out by making the first versions of many essential commands, and I hope to make many more contributions in the future. I enjoy working on Cascade as it allows me to engage with a small community and work with engaging and talented individuals to provide a product. You can check out Cascade's GitHub here.

IDEKMC was a network of Minecraft servers that supported versions 1.7.10 to 1.11. I founded and created the server, and I was responsible for managing a small team of staff and development on the server. I created several training documents for staff to use, and I also actively engaged with the community. This was an amazing oppertunity for me to improve my social skills, whilst devloping my techincal knowledge with Minecraft servers. This knowledge let me to eventually become an employee at Shockbyte.
