After backing the Airtame crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo* and enrolling in their BETA testing program, I reached out to the founders of Airtame via their online forum to offer my technology expertise in hopes of obtaining a student job. The offer quickly amounted to a full time position to be Airtame's first and, at the time, only technical support specialist. I joined the Airtame team as the 21st employee in June 2015 right as the first units were being shipped to the backers of the indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Joining a start-up at its initial phase was a big challenge which came with ever more tasks and responsibilities. It was an amazing experience living and breathing the startup life and showing great progress towards the success of the Airtame product and the company behind it. My time at Airtame as been one of the most profound moments in my engineering career. Not only because of the success we've had but also because of how fast we learnt and progressed, going from having a product that was a challenge to even give away to improving the product and showing daily sales of tens of thousands of dollars across the globe.My favourite part about having this position at Airtame was that, since there was no team or process in place upon my arrival, I had full control to build the service I had always dreamt of receiving from solution providers. My previous experience in the field always left me frustrated when dealing with customer support agents. At Airtame I was not going to let that happen and from that moment I built the outline for Airtames customer success service which has received praise as "outstanding customer support" in almost every online review about Airtame. Tasks:-Technical Sales: Driving sales from a technical approach-Technical Support: Providing support for the users of over 25.000 devices sold.* Reference Link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/airtame-wireless-hdmi-for-everyone#/ Show less -

While I was there we worked on the prototype of a three wheeled vehicle that hosted a pallet sized space at the front which was modular.

The use cases were endless which is what made the product worth the development.During my time here I worked with power tools, metal forging, electrical solutions, batteries, motors, logistics and workshop maintenance.
