Retired

Managing UTS's new RF test laboratories, including 2 new EMC test chambers, and working with Industry partners to develop innovation and financial benefits.

Entertaining a career change but still open to institutional opportunities.

Trying out something new.

Day to day guidance in the RF operations environment of a Wireless ISP. New site additions, fault management, economic and operational viability of new equipment and technologies are just a few of the elements of the role. Team management, budget management, and passion for customer satisfaction are key attributes I possess. I have been a key contributor in helping the company achieve revenues of greater than $30 million per year for the last 3 years.

RF Design and implementation of Australia's 1st commercial wireless ISP. Also assisted with deployment, commissioning and operational acceptance of the network. Participated in defining Help desk processes and content. Key contributor in building company revenues of greater than $10 million in the first 4 years and sustaining revenue greater than $15 million thereafter.

Designing medium to high power amplifiers and integrating them into wireless data communications systems. System level analysis, design for manufacturing, and cost analysis were major components of the role. Originally enlisted to finish the hardware design and integration of the power amplifier into its wireless broadband data system, I later moved to helping the company engage with potential customers by assisting with technical trials and was also instrumental in acquiring one of the companies largest customers, Unwired Australia, before Navini Networks was acquired by Cisco systems.

Design of variable gain microwave amplifiers, microwave power amplifiers, and similar equipment. My proudest achievement was assisting with the design and delivery, to Raytheon E-Systems, of the receiver components (LNA's, mixers, and hybrid combiners) for the STS-99, Radar Topography, space shuttle mission.
