Priten works as an technology support analyst to help users work smoothly in their day to day operations.

Before Nesta, Priten worked in multiple IT organisations where he was a senior IT consultant. Within this role he provided IT support to various users, managed IT projects, sold IT solutions and managed teams over a span of 10 years. He has much experience within user support, infrastructure, networks and cloud technologies.
