01 / Profile

Engineering depth.
Commercial instinct.
Global perspective.

I work where customer needs, technology and commercial opportunity meet.

My career has progressed from software and R&D engineering to international technical support and African business development. That combination allows me to understand a technical problem, explain the right solution to decision-makers, guide implementation teams and build the long-term partner relationship around it.

Today, I develop business across African markets while providing technical consulting to distributors, system integrators and customers worldwide for Shenzhen Union Timmy Technology.
