Meet the Evolve team.
Everyone here works from the Southport or Toowoomba office. The helpdesk takes the first call, and the engineers and team leaders below handle the rest.
Daniel started as a technician and now leads the company. He looks after business development, strategic planning and the team across both offices.
Daniel started with Evolve in 1999 as a computer technician, became Technical Services Manager, and went on to lead the company. He has seen Evolve grow from a local team of five engineers to the business it is today.
He has worked across every form of server and network management, and he stays closely involved in technical consultation for our larger and longest-serving clients alongside business development, strategic planning and developing the team across both offices.
His training includes a Bachelor of Information Technology, MikroTik (MTCNA) and Microsoft (MCP) certifications, Sophos engineering and sales certifications, and VMware Technical Sales Professional.
