- Summary
I have been sailing since childhood and did my first channel crossing on a 13m SY when I was 9, then my first long cruise from the UK to the Balearic Islands when I was 13.
I am highly motivated and able to work quickly, calmly and accurately under pressure; to analyse, organise and assess electrical and mechanical problems methodically and orderly. For 8 years I worked as an AV-IT Multimedia Technician for the largest Post Production Agency in London. I have an extensive range of experience in building and maintaining media systems and servers, much like the Kaleidoscope system. Also with computer networks from the extremely large to the oh so small. My speciality is in Apple Mac systems, but I can also use Windows OS.
I am now making good headway in turning my passion for the sea, technology and travelling into a career in the yachting industry. I am currently seeking a yacht where I can mix between the deck / engine room & AV/IT systems.
