Enthusiastic and dynamic candidate Electronics Engineer holding a BSc degree in Electronic Engineering. Highly disciplined with proven leadership capabilities, interpersonal and communication skills gained through my involvement with SANRAL’s projects, consultants, contractors, and stakeholders. Intermediate computer programming and engineering Planning and Design skills.
Highly passionate about Embedded Systems with proficiencies ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, deep learning, automation, and wireless communications.
I am currently employed as a project manager by SANRAL since March 2018, however, since March 2020 I have been working as an embedded systems engineer under a secondment contract with Quantum Design and Engineering (QDE). In my time at QDE I have successfully designed and developed an access control gateway system that used industrial protocols, serial communications, and a microcontroller. I developed the software using embedded C++ and Atmel studio, designed the circuit and PCB, and manufactured a prototype PCB and soldered components on it.
Finally, I had to integrate the gateway system to an Adroit SCADA system. I routinely used tools such as oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, and digital multi-meters.
I have spent some time training and learning PLC programming, SCADA configuration, server configuration for different SCADA systems, TCP/IP Ethernet communication, and SQL database management. I have experience in hardware and software debugging, reading code to find and fix issues or bugs. I have functional knowledge of all electrical legislation, codes, and standards of practice, and have gained expertise in the use of industry-specific tools and applications.
