I didn't start out in instrumentation. I studied to be a radio/TV repair technician. My jobs in chronological order were:
- Beginning in 1981, to operate and maintain a building automation system based on the PDP 11.
- To service TVs, stereos, building sound systems, and disco lighting systems. I also went along on concerts as a standby technician (got free tickets too!).
- To design sound systems, perform tests on professional audio equipment, design disco lighting systems.
- To design fire alarm and security systems, also supervise their installation.
- Then I worked on instrumentation. Started in 1985 and never left.
Other trivia: I am a member of Toastmasters International and presently a Competent Toastmaster.
