Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOllie Chick is a Technical Operations Engineer II with nine years of hands-on software engineering experience, currently shaping reliability and operations at Partly in Christchurch. A University of Canterbury software engineering graduate, he progressed through roles from junior developer to full stack engineer and now into technical ops within the same company, demonstrating deep institutional knowledge and adaptability. His background includes tutoring web and systems courses, giving him strong foundations in frontend/backend technologies (Vue, Node.js) and low-level C and embedded concepts. Early internships exposed him to visualization library migration and Angular/Nest dashboard work, signaling comfort with both user-facing interfaces and migration/maintenance challenges. Ollie combines practical production experience with an educator’s attention to clarity and testing, making him effective at cross-team communication and troubleshooting. He tends to stay with projects long enough to own their lifecycle, moving from implementation to operational stewardship.
