ABOUT THE AUTHOR / DISCLAIMER

Just a quick note about myself. Power Systems Consultants employ me in New Zealand as a consultant in the field of Telecommunications, Fibre Optics, Quality Assurance, and Project Management. In this role I provide technical, training, and project management support to a number of clients. Prior to this I was a Technical Specialist in a large contractor and was responsible for supplying technical, training, quality assurance and project management support on various optical fibre and telecommunications projects. This role included the investigation of new technologies and the development of work practices and standards. I also assisted in the development and auditing of a quality assurance system certified to the ISO 9001 Quality System standard. My original training was as a electronics/telecommunications technician prior to moving into engineering management roles.

If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions on this page or its topics, please email me. I am happy to discuss the topics raised on my homepage. I would also welcome topics or information for inclusion.
