James Whittaker
With over 15 years of hands-on experience across the IT industry, I bring a well-rounded and practical approach to solving technical challenges. My journey began on the service desk, progressed through telecoms and cabling, and led to years as a field engineer, installing and troubleshooting complex networks. Today, I specialize in IT consultancy and cloud-based solutions, helping businesses navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape. I’m approachable, knowledgeable, and always mindful that IT can be frustrating—which is why we created Mount Data Technology: to offer clear, reliable, and human-focused IT support that makes technology work for people, not the other way around.
