An Honarary Fellow of the Southern African Institute of Industrial Engineering, a Professor, Academic Leader and Consultant in Advanced Manufacturing, Expert Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics in Manufacturing and Mechatronics. I am continually endeavouring to acquire unequalled managerial acumen in both the technical and the business aspects of my engagements. Through the experience of independent research I have grown to have initiative, work with a team at a local institutional level, at the national consortium level and at the international level this has grown my interpersonal skills immensely. I have also established international collaborators. I can describe myself as an effective player, self-starter, systematic thinker and worker, passionate about my responsibilities, a perseverant individual who is results oriented. In my relating to a range of customers in my current position I am continuously perfecting the art of listening to the customer and with integrity and trustworthiness meeting their needs timeously.
