Organisation/2018 Trustees Election/Candidates: Difference between revisions

I've been a member of London Hackspace since 2012. Since joining the space has moved to Hackney Road where I helped with the build out and electrical wiring. We expanded the amateur radio section from operating next to the laser cutter to its space in the shack where it remained prior to our departure.

Along with simonvc I co-founded London Aerospace, a group focused on RC Aircraft/Drones/Planes/Multirotors and helped turn that into a monthly meeting with occasional workshops.

I also picked up responsibility for the maintenance of the 3D printer. The original Lulzbot was in regular need of some TLC and I worked with Ian to make a more informative 3D printer training program.

I'm an active amateur radio member, and whilst we're building out the shack, I'm helping organise courses and exams like I did before to get more people involved.

With the relocation to Wembley, London Hackspace is at a turning point where we can improve on the history we've had and engage with a new community. Having knowledge of the history and all the challenges we've faced in the space historically will help with moving forward.

As a budget holder in my day job, I have experience in making financial decisions and negotiating contracts, which I feel would help making informed decisions for the hackspace. As a manager I’m expected to handle situations in order to diffuse interpersonal issues that might otherwise cause problems.

I’m almost always contactable and regularly on IRC/responding to emails.
