I started Auckland Gardening Limited when first arriving in New Zealand, and built it into a successful and self-sustaining company. During this time I developed the company website using React to capture client leads, and a separate job scheduling software for employees to use and track tasks, job opportunities, and recurring work. I built relationships with property management companies for ongoing regular maintenance. I built and managed all aspects of the business including payroll, policy and procedure documents, finances, and job scheduling.
