Electronic & Physical Security
Hands-on security work before the IT career
The role began through practical placement while I was completing formal security-systems training and continued afterward as paid field work. It provided an early foundation in security as an operational discipline rather than only a software concept.
Work took place on real customer installations where system reliability depended on electronics, wiring, configuration, physical placement and troubleshooting in the field.
- CCTV installation and maintenance
- Intrusion-alarm systems
- Access-control equipment
- Low-voltage wiring and electronics
- Configuration, troubleshooting and field service
Career Foundation
A practical foundation in security and troubleshooting
That early field work established a practical foundation in troubleshooting, system reliability and physical security that later carried into IT infrastructure, information security and technical investigation work.
