I currently work as project manager for both zencontrol and Evolt. My biggest career accomplishment has been certifying the first DALI-2 input devices in the world.I have a dual degree in Microelectronic Engineering and Information Technology. I started my career with a startup now known as zencontrol.

Over the past 12 years I have worked as an embedded software engineer, firmware engineer, electronics engineer and now am the National R&D project manager. Whilst working in different departments I have introduced tools and processes to ensure projects are well managed and executed using agile principles.I assist our factory in China that is owned and operated by our Australian engineers.
