PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Technical founder and Electronics Engineer with more than 40 years of experience designing, repairing, building, and managing technology businesses. Founder of multiple successful companies in electronics repair, computer services, and telecommunications.

Today I combine decades of engineering experience with modern software development, Python programming, AI tools, WordPress, and web technologies to build practical products and solve real business problems.

Unlike many engineers, I enjoy working directly with customers. Throughout my career I have successfully sold technical products and services, translated complex engineering concepts into simple business solutions, and helped customers solve problems others could not.

I am seeking remote opportunities as a Technical Founder, Technical Consultant, Python Developer, Electronics Engineer, or Product Engineer.
