I have had a fun career so far working in telecom and IT for around 25 years and crept into the surveillance & security space when I first started with Axis Communications in 2010. It all began with cabling and building computers before moving on to voicemail & call accounting systems, interactive voice response (IVR) and call center applications, servers, hypervisors, networking, storage, and VoIP solutions. I have degrees in business marketing and software development, numerous certifications, along with experience in support, installations, training, and sales solutions.
