Work Experience
Thanks for exploring my background. My experience spans Fire & Security, Excavation, Digital Signage, and Retail Media, focusing on operational efficiency and software implementation. While primarily a manager, I’ve also spent three years in web development through courses and practice. With over 12 years in photography and design—from event to fashion—I’ve built a strong creative portfolio enhanced by an interest in 3D graphics.
