About Me

My Story

With over 15 years of professional experience spanning marine IT, superyacht AV systems, and maritime operations, I bring a unique and valuable combination of technical and hands-on deck skills. I’m a certified AV/IT Officer with direct experience maintaining, upgrading, and refitting advanced entertainment, communication, and network systems onboard private motor yachts.

My background includes system design and support for Crestron, Cisco, and VSAT solutions, gained through both hands-on AV/IT refits and remote land-based support. With additional experience as a deckhand, I contribute confidently to both guest service and ship operations. I’m organised, adaptable, and passionate about delivering seamless tech solutions in demanding onboard environments.
