Professional Achievements that I love to talk about

I often get asked about some of the fascinating locations I've worked in, as well as the projects I've worked on. Here, I attempt to make a linear story of my professional development through key achievements. For some context on each of the companies mentioned below; Virtual Shield Systems is an electronic security company that I founded right out of school which serviced the all of NJ, NY, NYC, & PA. After the pandemic took its course on small businesses such as Virtual Shield, I seeked a position at EarthCam. With my previous experience from Virtual Shield providing me with a comprehensive understanding of CCTV and Networking systems, I quickly became key member to their IT team, shortly followed by being an integral part of the engineering team. As I developed off the shelf products, and mastered all aspects of network camera technology, I found my interests to be leaning robotics and higher end systems used in broadcasting, bringing me to my current position at Telemetrics. You can follow the course my professional pathway below, I hope you find it as invigorating as I have.
