    Originally qualified as a licensed Architect in 2007, I further extended my skills in the field of Mechanical design and engineering within the South African mining industry. I further gained in-depth experience in Materials, CNC work, tooling, fabrication as well as BOM & sub assembly breakdowns. Maturing in these roles I further excelled in the comprehensive understanding of product lifecycle development process as well as cost optimizations. During the Pandemic period I furthered my experience in the field of Sales, Eventually working my way up to MEAI Channel Account Manager within the I.T sector. Whilst my passion remains in the Product Design and development arena, The sales experience has simply furthered my overall skillset.
