Technology Project Manager with multidisciplinary experience in Smart Buildings, Building Automation, Physical Security, Low Current Systems and Professional AV. Experienced in leading end-to-end technology projects throughout the full project lifecycle, from planning and design coordination to on-site implementation, commissioning and successful handover. Having progressed from hands-on engineering and automation roles to project management, I have developed a practical understanding of both the technologies I deliver and the business objectives they support. This enables me to bridge engineering teams, stakeholders and business priorities while maintaining a strong focus on quality, reliability and successful project outcomes. As a PMP® certified professional with master's degrees in Informatics Systems and Business Administration, I combine engineering expertise, structured project management and business knowledge to balance technical excellence with strategic decision-making throughout every stage of project delivery. For me, success is measured not only by meeting scope, schedule and budget, but by delivering solutions that perform reliably, create long-term value and continue to support business objectives long after project completion. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, contractors, vendors and clients across domestic and international projects. I believe successful projects are built on careful planning, transparent communication, accountability and disciplined execution. I also leverage AI to enhance project planning, decision-making, documentation and delivery efficiency while maintaining sound engineering judgement and professional responsibility. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, continually improving project delivery to keep pace with evolving technologies, industries and business needs. My goal is to deliver reliable technology solutions, build long-term professional relationships based on trust and consistency, and create lasting value for clients, organisations and stakeholders.

With a background in content strategy, brand management, and community building for global franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek, I’ve spent my career connecting people to the stories they love. At AVIXA, I’m doing the same—only now, the story is AV itself: how it connects, empowers, and transforms us. I’m especially drawn to the intersection of AV and pop culture, immersive tech, and storytelling. I’m here to help others unlock the potential of Xchange—whether it’s building their brand, expanding their reach, or just finding their people.
