I am designing monitoring and controlling equipment for hydroponics and diesel storage systems to start my own company.I am solely responsible for the following among many other smaller tasks.• Research and development• Electronic PCB design and production• Component sourcing and procurement • Embedded systems programming• Database implementation and maintenance• Server installation and maintenance• Web Server configuration and implementation• Product testing and debugging• 3D designing of the housing and any mechanical parts.They systems I have designed are for automated hydroponics monitoring and adjusting as well as diesel monitoring and tracking to help local farmers with an IoT approach to their daily tasks.The diesel monitoring project website can be accessed at betterthanadipstick.com please feel free to contact me for login details to see the data tracked on a test user account.

Antarctica

Posted at SANAE IV base in Antarctica to maintain and improve system functionality on the Super Darn Radar operated by SANSA as well as other space weather related equipment for 14 months.With little to no supervision, difficult working conditions and uniquely hostile environment, I was the only Engineer to look after the Super-DARN Radar.My responsibilities included:• Server maintenance and upgrades.• Data capturing, monitoring and reporting.• Monitoring for and reporting any interesting space weather events.• Radar repairs, upgrades and tests throughout the year.• System up time above 90% across all systems regardless of weather and repairs needed.• Systems maintenance and upgrades.• Design, create and implement new ideas to improve system functions and efficiency on the base and systems.• Ensure the best possible data is backed up with minimal down time to the systems or data gathered.

Marion Island

Posted on a remote sub Antarctic island research base to maintain and improve system functionality on space weather monitoring equipment and systems.With little to no supervision I was the only Engineer on base to look after Space weather systems.My responsibilities included.• Server maintenance and upgrades.• Data capturing, including monitoring for and reporting any system down time.• Monitoring for and reporting any interesting space weather events.• VLF antenna repairs, upgrades and tests throughout the year.• Designing and implementing any system improvements possible. • Ensure that system up time remains above 90% across all systems regardless of weather and repairs needed.• System maintenance and upgrades.If something broke it was my sole responsibility to get it up and running again as soon as possible because I was the bases only Electronic Engineer for SANSA on the Island.

My gap year after High school included setting up rides at every carnaval location, maintaining them as well as operating the rides when the carnival is open.Then packing them up and moving them to the next spot.With the hard manual labor it was a good year to grow up and get world knowledge, it also gave me the time to figure out what I wanted to study and where I wanted my life to go.
