Technical Support Manager | Software Engineer

Bridging technical expertise and client success in mining technology

About Me

I am a Technical Support Manager at Blue Cube Systems, where I lead a small engineering team and manage project delivery for mining technology solutions. My role involves a 70/30 technical-to-management split, allowing me to stay hands-on with embedded systems development while overseeing client relationships and team coordination.

With extensive experience in embedded Linux systems (BusyBox, MOXA), I specialize in developing and optimizing mining sensor technologies. My programming expertise spans Pascal, C, and Python, with a focus on creating robust, real-time solutions for challenging industrial environments.

I thrive in client-facing roles within the mining sector, where I combine technical troubleshooting with strategic project management to deliver exceptional results for our mining clients.
