What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building high-frequency electromagnetic systems, especially antenna design, RF detection, radar, modelling, and practical R&D projects with meaningful technical impact.

At Eskom, I lead a research project developing passive RF spectral-signature detection for overhead-line defects while training in Transmission solutions.

Previously at Reutech Radar Systems, I developed an autonomous test-scripting framework for RF test and measurement equipment, reducing radar-development experiments from multiple days to minutes. I also worked on RF and radar antenna characterisation, measurement, and performance.

I'm completing a Master’s in Electronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University, researching high-gain dielectric rod antennas, mutual coupling, computational techniques, and feed mechanisms. I also contribute to EMC and RFI standards development through the South African National Committee to the IEC and AFSEC.
