I was promoted from general engineering to leading security, infrastructure and technical compliance at Orbit!

I joined Orbit as a Senior Engineer, working on everything from infrastructure to security to privacy engineering!

I had the opportunity to be sponsored and become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a distinguished honor I hold to this day.
