Summary

I am a versatile resource with a wide range of skills and experience in electromechanics, radio networks, and telecommunications, as well as IT, programming, system building, film production, drone work, and more.

I am naturally curious and passionate about continually acquiring new knowledge and skills. Additionally, I am driven by problem-solving, whether it involves finding solutions for both customers and colleges or handling internal challenges and improvement initiatives.

These qualities and skills have helped me co-found two telecommunications companies, both of which achieved significant growth and established themselves as strong challengers in the industry, eventually being acquired by larger companies. These experiences have also provided me with insights into organizational development and running companies during growth phases.

In telecommunications, I have worked in various areas, from sales and customer service to troubleshooting base stations and traffic tracing.

And with over 20 years of programming experience, I have taken on roles as a lead architect and system developer for solutions used both externally and internally – ranging from automated systems and API frameworks to job-based backend systems.

Outside of work, I love staying active. When I’m not making videos or coding, you can usually find me in the mountains running, hiking, mountain biking, or skiing.
