Past employers include UCG Tech Services where I held the role of IT Technician for 4 years. My duties included managing customer information systems and office networks as well as performing standard repairs to computers including OS wipes, troubleshooting, peripheral setup and data transfers.

Post working at UCG I worked in electronics retail as a sales associate helping customers find the right products and solutions for their specific problems. Bringing a background of IP network management that I had built while at UCG, I quickly became the top grossing sales associate for network related sales and solutions for our customers.

I moved on to work in the telecom industry and held the position of IP network specialist, overseeing corporate telecom projects including copper, fiber, and radio solutions.

The Covid pandemic provided new opportunities and I found employment in industrial design. Initially hired to act as the director of a hospitality venue, Oakfire Ridge, I was quickly promoted to Director of Industrial Design after demonstrating my skills in the field. I was later named Director of Design at Nobot Labs (NBL).

While in all of these positions, I have had a hand in, or completely designed, custom electronic and mechanical solutions. My Electronics Engineering design work has ranged from simple analogue circuits up to IoT solutions connected to major cell carrier networks with app-enabled backend server services.
