      Early Career

      My early career was focused on engineering and started off as a design engineer and later moved into manufacturing systems engineering, which was heavily computing focused. As a Production Manager I ended up running a series of progressively larger production teams (80-200) but was still regularly engaged in systems selection and implementation.
