Solutions Architect (Interactive Systems), Strong System Design & Presales Skills, Client Facing Ability, Hertfordshire Based, Immediately Available, Permanent

On speaking with this candidate, his enthusiasm for, and deep knowledge of, interactive technologies really comes across. He has a great understanding of the very latest technologies breaking new ground in the AV industry, but in addition to this he has the communication skills and personality to convey his knowledge and passion for the subject. I expect that his new employer will benefit technically as well as commercially from this candidate’s skill set.

An experienced solutions architect whose most recent experience has been the design, pre-sales and project management of interactive technologies for a major manufacturer with a base in the UK. This varied role has seen him design bespoke systems for large corporate clients, including interactive digital signage, kiosk solutions, point of sale solutions and arena VIP entrance solutions. The technologies he has utilised in these systems include gesture control, touch screens, laser surface, biometric facial recognition, gender and age recognition. This candidate has a strong background in IT, allowing him to design solutions from the infrastructure up. He has a proven ability to marry differing technologies into an integrated system that works in real world applications. His solutions have been and are currently being utilised in retail environments, exhibitions and sports & entertainment venues.

As well as technical design and site surveying, this candidate is strong in client facing situations, championing interactive solutions to clients and explaining the capabilities and benefits of the technologies to non-technical decision makers. He is also confident presenting solutions to clients following an in-depth pre-sales meeting to understand the business needs of the clients and creating an appropriate solution.

This candidate is now actively looking for a new opportunity that offers career progression and a focus on digital media. He is based in Hertfordshire with an easy commute into London (which he has done regularly). He is available immediately and is looking for a permanent opportunity where he can make use of his knowledge and work with interesting technologies on challenging projects. His previous salary was £45K but he is flexible on this as his main priority is to find an exciting role that offers long term career progression opportunities and the chance to keep working with cutting edge interactive tech.
