Real Experience
I guide the strategic direction of the company while still being hands-on with enterprise developments. I also assist our Developers with design and coding challenges. Currently, I manage our UBS account and I’m the lead Developer for Blueprint. Before joining Lucid, I spent 13 years at Crestron, with my last role as EMEA Training & CSP Manager. I’ve always loved solving puzzles, and working in software development within AV brings its own unique set of challenges, which keeps my problem-solving skills and logical thinking engaged. Originally, I was on track to design aircraft, but after a friend helped me get a job in acoustics, from there I found my way into the AV industry. After years of traveling for work, I eventually sought out a new challenge that allowed me to be at home more.
Real Expertise
I specialise in C# programming and finance management, with a career that has spanned various roles, from delivering TVs and VCRs in London to fixing AV systems, project managing installations and programming everything from remotes to full AV systems. I also taught Crestron programming across the EMEA region and advocated for Crestron Service Providers. My expertise lies in system design and enterprise solutions. Colleagues might describe me as logical and sarcastic, always bringing a bit of dry humour to the team.
Real Life
Outside of work, my interests include motorbikes and airsoft, both hobbies I share with my adult son. Motorbikes give me a pure sense of escapism that you just don’t get from a car, and I enjoy the scene and the people. Airsoft brings a community spirit that I love, and I get satisfaction from welcoming new people and sharing what I’ve learned. When it comes to stress, my approach is simple, deal with what is right in front of me and work my way out of the situation step-by-step. My ambition is to take more time to enjoy life and focus on comfort in the here and now, before life throws its next curveball.
