Geltendorf, Bavaria, Germany
Since 2004 I have been focused on all aspects of ILS for a number of different electronic systems and for a number of different countries (UK, FR, DE & TR). I am experienced in managing personnel, complex electronic systems and tasks against challenging timelines and budgetary constraints including in unfamiliar and extreme environments. With nearly 24 years of military experience (radar engineering and management) and having worked in industry since 2008, mostly in the configuration, maintenance, training, radar engineering and ILS fields for various electronic systems, I am a very flexible manager capable of completing all tasks assigned in a timely and cost effective manner. Although not a fluent German speaker, I currently have German security clearance and residency, and have been working as a Configuration, ILS & GFX Manager in the Munich area since January 2013.
