About
"Results-oriented Engineer with over 10 years of hands-on experience in the Fire Safety and Electronic Security industry. I specialize in the full project lifecycle—from initial design and drafting to site management, installation, and final commissioning (T&C).
My expertise covers a wide range of low-current (ELV) systems, ensuring full compliance with international and local safety codes.
Core Competencies:
Fire Safety: Addressable/Conventional Fire Alarm Systems (FAS), Public Address & Voice Alarm (PAVA), and Gas Detection.
Security Systems: IP/Analog Video Surveillance (CCTV), Access Control Systems (ACS/SКУД), and Intrusion Alarms.
Project Leadership: Site supervision, subcontractor management, and technical troubleshooting.
Design & Documentation: AutoCAD drafting, Bill of Quantities (BoQ) preparation, and 'As-Built' documentation.
Whether you need a precise system design or expert guidance for on-site implementation, I deliver reliable, code-compliant solutions to protect lives and assets."
