A builder, not just an applicant — independent projects across fashion, fitness & PropTech.

Hi — I'm Sahil. Currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance) at the University of Auckland, with nearly a decade of professional work behind me across warehouse operations, field merchandising, pharmacy retail, online retail & IT support, and licensed real estate sales.

I'm deliberately building across multiple industries rather than locking into one early — strong customer-first communication, fast learner with new platforms, tech-fluent (daily AI tools, basic networking & IT support, modern productivity stack), and the work-ethic of someone who's held long-tenure roles since 2016.

Alongside paid work I'm also building my own projects — a women's fashion brand (Covvora), a fitness brand (Como Fitness), and a real estate app (Real Buddy).

Pick a tab above for the version of me that matches what you're hiring for — or scroll on for general profile, education, languages and references.

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (Level 4) with a strong academic foundation in Accounting and Finance and a clear long-term commitment to the property industry.

I combine financial literacy, market awareness and compliance knowledge with strong communication skills and a disciplined work ethic. Experienced in high-performance environments, I understand accountability, professionalism, and client service standards.

Motivated to build a long-term career across residential sales, property management and property investment sectors.

Motivated and reliable customer service professional with experience in fast-paced retail and warehouse environments.

I bring strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure. Confident interacting with customers, handling enquiries, and maintaining high service standards.

Committed to delivering excellent customer experiences while contributing to team performance and store success.

Experienced field merchandiser with a strong eye for visual presentation, brand consistency and store-floor execution.

I combine planogram discipline, stock rotation and time management with confident relationships with store managers and floor staff across multiple sites.

Motivated to take ownership of accounts and deliver consistent in-store performance for FMCG, food & beverage, or convenience brands.

Front-of-shop pharmacy retail experience delivered in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.

I combine strong customer service, professional presentation and compliance discipline with calm, accurate POS and cash-handling under pressure.

Motivated to grow within a pharmacy retail environment while supporting customer outcomes, store standards and team performance.

Nearly a decade of professional work across three companies and three distinct retail environments — warehouse dispatch at Foodstuffs, field merchandising for Pro-Life Foods, and front-of-shop pharmacy retail at Chemist Warehouse.

A single record of every past role — kept on its own page so each industry-specific page (real estate, retail, merchandising, pharmacy) stays focused on the work most relevant to that role.

Use this view to see the full work history end-to-end: roles, companies, dates and the responsibilities carried in each.

Online Retail and IT support experience at Comsys Pacific — supporting day-to-day online retail operations including product management, customer support, order handling and website maintenance.

I combine strong IT product knowledge (laptops, networking, CCTV, accessories, business technology) with online retail platform fluency, customer service and supplier coordination in a fast-paced online retail environment.

Motivated to grow within online retail, IT retail and modern technology businesses — bringing a tech-driven mindset, fast learning ability and a strong willingness to take on new platforms, products and operational responsibilities.

Entry-level IT support candidate with hands-on technology product experience from Comsys Pacific — laptops, PCs, networking, CCTV, printers, accessories and business technology — applied to a Level 1 / Tier-1 service desk skillset.

I combine customer-first service (built across pharmacy retail, online retail support and IT product enquiries) with technical troubleshooting fundamentals — operating systems, account & access management, hardware diagnostics, network connectivity, and ticketing workflows.

Ready to step into helpdesk, service desk, IT support assistant or Level 1 IT technician roles — fast learner, calm under pressure, professional with end-users, and willing to study toward CompTIA A+ / ITIL fundamentals.

Daily user of modern AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are part of how I work, study and plan, not a side-experiment. Comfortable picking the right model for the job and getting useful output fast.

Using AI fluently across research, writing, summarising, brainstorming, study help, marketing copy, content prep and problem-solving — the kind of productivity edge most workplaces still don't have.

A modern, tech-fluent operator who treats AI as a daily-driver tool — not a buzzword. Comfortable adopting new tools quickly and adapting them into existing workflows.

Beyond paid work, I'm building my own projects — across fashion (Covvora), fitness (Como Fitness) and property tech (Real Buddy). Brand, product, e-commerce and digital presence — end to end.

Each project is real, ongoing and self-driven — not a CV bullet. The work covers brand identity, product, e-commerce, content, marketing and operations, with everything from naming to launch handled independently.

This page is the full picture of what I'm building right now — open to collaborators, conversations and opportunities in any of these categories.

How I actually use AI day-to-day

A practical breakdown of where modern AI tools sit inside my real workflow — not theory, not buzzwords.

ChatGPT

My everyday workhorse — drafting emails and messages, brainstorming, breaking down problems, generating first-draft content, and getting quick second opinions on decisions.

Claude

Used for longer-form writing, careful editing, summarising large documents, and tasks where I want more thoughtful, structured output. Strong for rewriting tone and tightening drafts.

Gemini

Used alongside ChatGPT and Claude — particularly useful for cross-checking answers, web-aware research, and Google-ecosystem tasks. Comfortable switching between models based on what each does best.

Daily Productivity

AI is part of how I plan my day, prep for meetings, organise notes, and move faster through admin work. Not a novelty — a real time-saver folded into existing habits.

Study & Learning

Use AI to explain complex topics, build study notes from lecture material, generate practice questions, and pressure-test my understanding before assessments.

Writing & Editing

Draft, rewrite, proofread and tighten everything from emails to listing copy to CV content. Strong eye for when AI output needs my own voice layered back in.

Marketing & Content Prep

Use AI to generate caption ideas, headline variants, content angles and short-form scripts for social media — then refine into something that sounds like me, not like AI.

Research & Summarising

Use AI to rapidly digest long articles, reports or documents and surface the parts I actually need to act on — without losing accuracy or nuance.

Prompt Craft

Comfortable structuring prompts clearly, providing context, iterating when output isn't quite right, and giving the model the information it needs to be useful first time.

Judgement Over Auto-Pilot

I treat AI as a collaborator, not a replacement — I always check, edit and own the final output. I know where AI is reliable and where my own judgement has to take over.

End-User Support

Confident providing professional support to end-users over phone, email and chat — listening carefully, asking clarifying questions and confirming the issue before troubleshooting.

Incident Logging & Ticketing

Familiar with raising, updating and closing tickets in service-desk platforms (Jira Service Management, Freshdesk, Zendesk, ServiceNow style) — including clear notes, accurate categorisation and resolution writeups.

Priority, Severity & SLAs

Awareness of incident priority and severity levels, SLA response and resolution targets, and how triage affects the order of work — making sure high-impact issues get the right attention.

Escalation Procedures

Comfortable identifying when a ticket is beyond Level 1 scope and escalating cleanly to Level 2 / 3 with full reproduction steps, logs and clear handover notes.

ITIL 4 Foundation Awareness

Basic understanding of ITIL concepts — incident management, request fulfilment, change management and the service-desk role within wider IT service delivery.

Knowledge Base Use

Comfortable searching internal KB articles to apply known fixes quickly, and contributing back to the KB when a useful resolution is found.

Hardware Troubleshooting

Hands-on familiarity with end-user devices built through Comsys Pacific (laptops, networking, printers, accessories) and applied to Tier-1 diagnostics.

Laptops, Desktops & Peripherals

Working knowledge of laptops, desktops, monitors, keyboards, mice, docking stations and webcams — basic diagnostics, swap-and-test approach and identifying faulty components.

Printers & Scanners

Printer setup, driver install, queue management and resolving common faults — paper jams, offline status, scan-to-folder and shared-printer access issues.

Cables, Connectors & Power

Familiar with HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C / Thunderbolt, Ethernet (Cat5e / Cat6), power adapters and dock connectivity — useful when the "obvious" issue turns out to be physical.

Mobile Devices

Basic iOS and Android support — Wi-Fi setup, email configuration (Exchange / IMAP), MFA app setup (Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator) and common app issues.

Asset & Inventory Awareness

Comfortable tagging, recording and tracking hardware in asset systems — issuing devices, recording returns and maintaining accurate inventory records.

Software & Operating Systems

Day-to-day software fixes — the issues end-users hit most often on Windows, Microsoft 365, browsers and standard productivity apps.

Windows 10 / 11 Support

User-side Windows troubleshooting — login issues, profile problems, startup apps, Windows Update, disk space, performance, common system-tray icons and the basics of Settings vs Control Panel.

Microsoft 365 & Office

Working with Outlook (mail, calendar, signatures, shared mailboxes), Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams and OneDrive — common error messages, sync issues and re-authentication.

Browsers & Web Apps

Edge, Chrome, Firefox & Safari support — clearing cache, cookies, extensions, sign-in loops, certificate warnings and basic browser-side diagnostics.

Software Install / Update / Uninstall

Comfortable installing, updating and removing software — using vendor installers, Microsoft Store, package managers and software-deployment tools where appropriate.

macOS & Linux Awareness

General awareness of macOS for end-user support, and basic familiarity with Linux command-line concepts (cd, ls, sudo, basic file permissions) for future learning.

Networking & Connectivity

The "is it on the network?" layer of Tier-1 — Wi-Fi, ethernet, IP basics and the small handful of commands that solve most connectivity issues.

Wi-Fi & Ethernet Troubleshooting

Diagnosing common connectivity problems — wrong network, weak signal, captive portals, cable / port issues and authentication failures on corporate Wi-Fi.

IP, DHCP & DNS Basics

Understanding of IP addressing (private vs public), how DHCP assigns addresses, and how DNS resolves names — enough to debug "no internet" issues from the user side.

Command-Line Diagnostics

Using ipconfig, ping, tracert / traceroute, nslookup and getmac to gather useful information before escalating a network ticket.

VPN Client Support

Supporting end-users with VPN clients (Cisco AnyConnect, Microsoft AlwaysOn VPN, FortiClient, GlobalProtect) — install, sign-in, MFA challenges and reconnection issues.

Routers, Switches & APs (Awareness)

General awareness of routers, switches and access points from Comsys Pacific exposure — useful context for triaging network tickets and explaining issues to users.

Identity, Access & Security

The most common Tier-1 tickets — password resets, MFA, lockouts and the everyday security hygiene users need help with.

Password Resets & Account Unlocks

Verifying identity, resetting passwords and unlocking accounts in Active Directory / Entra ID following the right process — without compromising the security side.

Active Directory & Entra ID Basics

Basic understanding of users, groups, OUs, permissions and the difference between on-prem AD and cloud Entra ID — enough context for Level 1 account tasks.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Helping users set up, recover and re-enrol MFA (Microsoft Authenticator, SMS, hardware tokens) — and recognising when MFA fatigue or unusual prompts may indicate a security event.

Microsoft 365 Admin Awareness

Familiarity with M365 admin centre basics — assigning licences, mailbox properties, group membership and shared-mailbox access from a Level 1 perspective.

Phishing & Endpoint Security

Recognising phishing emails, suspicious links and account-compromise indicators — reporting through the right channels and supporting endpoint protection / antivirus tooling on user devices.

Data Handling & Privacy

Awareness of data classification, secure file-sharing, NZ Privacy Act basics and the importance of confidentiality when handling user information at the service desk.

Tools, Soft Skills & Professionalism

The human side of Tier-1 — calm communication, clear documentation, fast learning and the willingness to ask the next question.

Remote Support Tools

Comfortable using remote-desktop and screen-share tools — Microsoft Quick Assist, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, RDP and Teams screen-share — to diagnose and resolve issues without site visits.

Documentation Discipline

Writing clear ticket notes, step-by-step instructions and KB updates so the next person on the team can follow the work and learn from the resolution.

Customer Service Mindset

Years of customer-facing experience (pharmacy retail, ecommerce support, IT product sales) translated directly into a calm, empathetic, professional approach with frustrated or non-technical users.

Communication Across the Stack

Translating tech jargon into plain English for end-users — and translating user descriptions into technical detail when escalating to Level 2 / 3.

Fast Learner

Proven track record of learning new platforms, products and systems quickly — built across ecommerce, IT product knowledge, real estate and modern productivity tools.

Real Estate · The differentiator

A licensed agent who reads the deal and the numbers.

Most new salespeople come in with one of two things — a licence or a finance background. I'm building both, deliberately: a Real Estate Salesperson Licence (Level 4) alongside a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting & Finance at the University of Auckland.

That means I can talk to first-home buyers about KiwiSaver withdrawals, LVR rules and deposit structuring — and talk to investors about yield, capital growth and cash-on-cash returns — without breaking stride.

I'm not testing the water. I'm here to build a long-term career across residential sales, property management and investment, backed by nearly a decade of disciplined work in target-driven environments and a long-term commitment to professionalism, compliance and client outcomes.

Retail · The differentiator

Nearly a decade across three different retail environments.

Retail isn't theoretical for me. I've spent nearly ten years across three companies in three very different retail environments: warehouse target-driven dispatch at Foodstuffs, field merchandising across supermarket accounts for Pro-Life Foods, and front-of-shop pharmacy retail at Chemist Warehouse.

That breadth means I already understand stock flow, customer pressure, presentation standards, compliance procedures, and team-shift dynamics — I don't need training to know what a busy Saturday looks like.

I bring proven reliability (long employment history), forklift & High Reach licences, a full Class 1 driver licence, and a customer-first attitude already shaped by real-world high-volume work. I'm ready to contribute from day one.

Merchandising · The differentiator

An independent route-runner with a real eye for presentation.

Field merchandising rewards the kind of worker most teams struggle to find: independent, route-driven, accountable, and visually disciplined. I am that worker.

Two years servicing supermarket and convenience accounts for Pro-Life Foods built my eye for visual standards, planogram discipline and store-manager relationships. Combined with Photoshop skills for display reporting, a full Class 1 licence, my own reliable transport, and forklift & High Reach tickets — I can run a route from day one.

I take pride in how a shelf looks at 5pm on a Friday, not just at handover. That's the difference.

Pharmacy · The differentiator

Warm customer engagement plus disciplined compliance.

Pharmacy retail asks for two things most candidates can only do one of: warm, calm customer engagement at front-of-shop, and disciplined, compliance-focused procedure behind it. I've already delivered both at Chemist Warehouse.

Operating POS, supporting stock and merchandising, maintaining professional and discreet customer service in a high-volume environment — that's the work, and I've done it. Combined with nearly a decade of broader retail and warehouse experience, I bring reliability, calm under pressure, and a customer-first standard already built in.

I'm ready to walk in and contribute from day one.

Online Retail & IT · The differentiator

Tech-fluent operations support built for modern online retail.

Most online retail hires bring one side — either online operations or technical product knowledge. I bring both: online retail operations experience at Comsys Pacific (product uploads, listings, order processing, customer support, supplier coordination) alongside real working knowledge of the IT, networking, CCTV and business-tech categories the store actually sells.

That means I can update a listing, answer a buyer's technical question about a CCTV kit or a switch, coordinate with a supplier, and represent the brand online — without needing to hand off between roles. Combined with fast learning ability, a tech-driven mindset, and comfort working in a fast-paced, growing business, I add capacity without adding overhead.

I'm ready to step into online retail, IT support, online retail or technology business roles and start contributing from day one.

AI Tools · The differentiator

A daily AI power-user — productivity edge most teams don't have yet.

Most candidates still treat AI as something to "look into one day." I use ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini every day — built into how I research, write, study, plan, and work through problems. Not a side-experiment, not a buzzword on a CV.

I know which model is best for which job, I prompt clearly and iterate fast, and I always keep my own judgement layered on top of AI output. That means cleaner work delivered faster — emails, reports, summaries, listings, study notes, content drafts, plans — without the generic "AI smell".

Bring me into any role and I'll quietly take 20–40% of the admin and drafting load off the rest of the team using tools that are free or already paid for. That's the real edge.

Level 1 IT · The differentiator

Customer-first Tier-1 support backed by real IT product experience.

Most Level 1 IT candidates bring one of two things — customer service or a technical background. I bring both. Nearly a decade of high-volume customer-facing work (pharmacy retail, online retail support) on the people side, layered on hands-on technology product experience at Comsys Pacific (laptops, networking, CCTV, Microsoft, business technology) on the technical side.

That means I can pick up a ticket, calm down a frustrated user, work through hardware / software / network / account fundamentals, document it cleanly, and escalate with full context when it's beyond scope — without needing to be taught how to talk to people. The technical fundamentals (Windows, M365, Active Directory / Entra ID, MFA, VPN, ticketing, SLAs, ITIL basics) are the part I'm actively studying — including building toward CompTIA A+, MS-900 and ITIL 4 Foundation.

I'm ready to step into a Tier-1 / Level 1 IT support, service desk, helpdesk or IT support assistant role and contribute from day one — and grow into Level 2 from there.
