About

Using a combination of experience in project management and a wealth of knowledge Electronics & Electrical Engineering acquired from employment and masters degree, I bring a together a unique and highly valuable set of skills and capabilities. I have always have an aptitude for identifying technical issues and I enjoy the challenge of analysing faults, determining the most appropriate course of action and resolving problems. I have extensive experience delivering complex, high quality projects that exceed client expectations and achieve business objectives, primarily in the energy sector. Whilst I have particularly strong knowledge of Telecom, Industrial and Renewable energy applications, my wide-ranging transferable skills, and ability to quickly grasp new concepts, enable me to seamlessly transition when faced with new challenges. From a project management perspective, I have a history of working on projects that are delivered successful, on time, within the set budget and in full alignment with the requirements of the client. I have worked on projects throughout Europe as well as in Africa and the Middle East, and therefore have acquired strong communication skills through collaborating with multinational workforces.
