  • How long have you been with Amped?

    Since the start, October 2018.

  • What area do you specialise in?

    Smart homes. I’m also interested in programming and outdoor lighting projects. Any job with KNX and Control integration is a favourite of mine - I love seeing the end result and what we can achieve with home automation.

  • What has been your favourite job with Amped and why?

    There are too many to remember! We have worked on some high-end footballers’ homes where budget isn’t really a consideration, so those are always fun because you get to work with great products.

  • Which tool can’t you do without?

    My laptop! Just kidding, I would have to say after all these years that it’s a good pair of snips. They’re great for acting like a hammer, a cutter, whatever really. 180mm is best for weight advantage.

  • What do you do for fun outside of work?

    I compete in gravel bike racing, and also do ultra marathons and a few Ironman events.
