Summary
Ian Cheng is a technical support engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on experience bridging enterprise application support and user-centred design, currently resolving complex incidents at ServiceNow after leading application support at ANZ. He combines strong root-cause analysis and stakeholder communication with a background in UX, game design and AR/VR prototyping, allowing him to translate technical detail into empathetic, user-focused solutions. Comfortable in high-pressure, cross-functional teams, Ian has repeatedly reduced downtime and optimised system performance while mentoring colleagues and managing product-facing communications. He also cultivates online communities and brings a creative edge from indie game development, where storytelling and systems thinking inform pragmatic problem-solving. Based in Greater Sydney, he’s drawn to ethical tech and creative collaboration—equally at home debugging production incidents or iterating on a game mechanic.
